As I'm a big fan of the
Ockham's Razor principle, I don't want to make things more complicated than they are, that's why a prefer the simple player RPG instead of an MMORPG analogy.
In this "life game", there are only 2 identities: this body (the avatar) and the game player (I consider the game player and the game developer as one identity).
Now, about my vision on I-M...
This is very simple: as I consider my life as a game, I know that I have chosen this "life game" to experience this particular life, so I believe that it is not appropriate to try changing the rules of the game during that "game" (otherwise, I'd better had chosen another avatar
)
Everything in my life ("good" and "bad" things) are part of that game, so I accept everything that happens in my life.
I have 100% faith in my destiny, so I don't care what the future will bring.
That's my motivation NOT to use I-M.
