A friend of mine wrote the article below and I think she pegs it. In the world of virtual reality, everyone can create his own avatar. An old person can become young, a male can become female or vice-versa. But it's a world of make-believe. People who actually enter into that make-believe world insisting it's real are mentally ill, psychotic in fact. The psychotic creates his own world and then tries to live in it. We not only live in a culture of death today, but a psychotic culture of make-believe. Instead of emphasizing the true and the real, many institutions (educational, political, and even religious) have entered into the psychotic's make believe world to confirm his avatar. After all, feelings trump reality and if it feels right to you, it must be right. Tell that to the next child who thinks he's Superman and wants to jump off the roof to prove he can fly.

St. Francis de Sales said, “Do not desire not to be what you are,” yet ever increasingly we read news stories about the glories of sex change operations and how happy is the new gender enhanced person being something not only that he or she never was before, but something he or she never can be, therefore never will be for all eternity.
