Chatroulette is usually viewed as something shameful. when you tell someone you like to go on it, they usually assume you are just one of the thousands of masturbating dicks (literally). although there really is a lot of promiscuity on the site, i'm proud to say that i frequent the site regularly, not for the dicks, but for the people. chatroulette has the potential to be a really great site. you can learn so much form other cultures and other people, you just have to give it the chance and hope others are doing the same. here is a sample of a conversation i had with someone on chatroulette. i learned alot from him that night and i hope to have more conversations like this. i had to edt it down so it wouldnt take up a lot of space. this is only SOME of what we talked about.
A conversation about love with a complete stranger.
Partner: how are you?
You: curious
You: do you believe in love
Partner: about what?
Partner: of course
You: why of course
Partner: it’s difficult. but it’s real and powerful
Partner: and is the source of all that is good in this world.
You: how do you find it then
Partner: it is big…but i believe it.
Partner: it finds you.
You: what good did it produce in you?
Partner: love for parents. love for friends. love for mankind. romantic love. platonic love.
You: i believe in each of those loves
You: except romantic love
Partner: it motivates all of my positive actions. it is the source of any desire to assist others or offer support/encouragement/assistance.
Partner: romantic love is trickiest. because it gets entangled with lust.
You: yeah i definitely believe that
Partner: love happens for me when lust and friendship happen simultaneously.
Partner: and grow together. at an equal pace.
Partner: too often lust overpowers the friendship.
Partner: or the friendship overpowers lust and when you try to get romantic…it’s weird.
You: if its mutual then shouldnt it be forever
Partner: but when you truly care about someone else their actions are more impactful.
You: ohh
Partner: love is dynamic…it changes.
Partner: it doesn’t stay the same.
Partner: it requires constant attention.
Partner: like a plant you’re trying to nurture.
Partner: if you don’t give it the proper care it will die.
You: thats a lot of focus on just one emotion
You: what happens to the rest of your life when you’re spent on love
Partner: love isn’t based on scarcity
Partner: it isn’t finite.
Partner: it can grow in its capacity and fulfill whatever ends you need it for.
Partner: like if you have on child…you love it with all your heart.
You: yeah i believe in that
Partner: but when you have a second…you realize that you didn’t love the first with all your heart because you love the second just as much.
Partner: love can meet what you demand of it.
Partner: it’s based on a paradigm of abundance.
Partner: not scarcity.
Partner: how old are you?
You: i’m 21
Partner: really?
You: haha yeah
You: just very ignorant of matters of the heart
You: and i’m asian so i just look young
Partner: not ignorant…inexperienced.
the fact that its so random makes it so perfect for a truly open and engaging conversations. there is no need to hold anything back because you will never see the person again. you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. sometimes, its easier to tell a stranger your secrets because you don't have that guilt and embarrassment attached. you know that you'll never have to face hearing about this again if you dont want to because the person has no idea who you are and wouldnt care anyways. chatroulette is a powerful tool, but people need to learn how to wield its powers correctly (or just learn how to keep it in their pants)
