We humans often has a tendency of seeing things not physically tangible as "not real". But what makes something real? If we can be so strongly affected by Neytiri, how can she not be real?
What do we really see in Neytiri? Some see her emotional side, her personality - and some love her for her looks, her appearance. Is it a bad thing to love Neytiri for only her looks? Is it a bad thing to love Neytiri for only her personality? I say no.
Neytiri should be someone who's personality, happiness, beauty and lifestyle can guide us in life. Someone to look up to, to feel emotionally bound with. Feeling physical attraction to her is something I do as well - but we must never forget what Neytiri represents - and what we can learn from her and everything she stands for.
Yes, I am feeling physically attracted to Neytiri. And it's something I do not hide - like those of you who feel the same, I stand up for it. But I, and everyone else here too, should always remember that physical attraction is not all there is, and that Neytiri has more to teach us and show us, than a physical ideal to look up to.
I love her for her looks and physique, just as much as I love her for the emotional messages she shows all of us.
Different people might feel attracted to different sides of Neytiri - and of course everyone should be free to feel whatever that person wants. But I know that all of you sees Neytiri for more than a sex object - and I hope we can all remember that she is so much more than just that. I know that we here - we can all learn from ALL sides of her, and let her guide us in our daily lives.
No, she is not a godly thing. But what she REPRESENTS is - it's something we all can learn from - something we can look at, as an example of how our lives should be.
If you don't need to change your life, you don't have to. But... at least for me... it feels great to have something to reflect upon, look at and say - "I can change my life to become more like hers".
And that's the thing. Neytiri will last FOREVER. She is something we can ALWAYS look at, think about - she won't leave us, she won't disappear - she will be in our minds, if we let her.
Isn't THAT real?
Neytiri can have an impact on our lives - what she represents has the power to change who we are - isn't that real?
Neytiri isn't just pixels on a screen - Neytiri is a MESSAGE.
And a very real one.
