After AVATAR can you even enjoy anything else

[apache_blanca]

Replying to the title of the thread: "After AVATAR can (I) even enjoy anything else?" my answer is NO. I am trying but all seems to be a pale shadow in comparison. It's been two years that I am trying "to find Pandora on Earth" (Not only beautiful sights: I also mean the sense of the community, friends, to be able to say "I See You" to real persons & the long etcetera) - oh I do have friends here & they are sometimes the only reason to go on living (& even though I complain about my coworkers we "cover each other's backs" during stressful times so I do recognize "sense of community" in this RL situation). What I repeatedly fail to find is the Avatar feeling - apart from very few occasions that have to do mostly with Avatar itself (like, to hear a soundtrack unexpectedly - it blows me away!). & very few times of "the sense of Oneness" in the nature when I feel that I am part of the world - then I remember Neytiri drinking from the purple flower. Avatar, again!

Whatever I manage to find here is like a black and white photo compared to the real 3D bright, coloured, living & breathing thing (person, animal, plant, landscape...) I know different people handle it differently - but me is me. I've been hit. Sorry Jake.

Oel ngati kameie.

Pandora > Earth, and there are no equivalences that people try to make
