Then comes another that claims,"Think out of the box...break all the rules first...and put them all back together."
The world is full of such sayings...to fit whatever situation we might be in.
Anyway, what does all these have to do with 'lessons' per se?
I deleted, or at least, suspended my facebook account.
For 2 reasons...
One it is getting to 'difficult' to manage ... what is the point of adding so many friends and only to hide them?
I guess I lost the whole objective of doing that.
The other, of course, is a bitter reason, which I have failed to learn again.
I have previously deleted my blogs and friendster accounts because of this.
I know that when you post something on the internet, the information becomes public domain. So one has to be very careful and selective in the things that is said, or written...because very little remains sacred.
I thought I had been careful, and be as objective as I can.
In my line of duty, the last thing I want to do is to get caught in any contraversy , or in an uncompromising position. I took care about what I wrote, about what I posted...and what I did on line.
I was wrong before...and I am wrong now...and perhaps...in future too...I will be wrong again.
With such information readily available, we now are all siting ducks...due to our own doings.
Any Tom, Dick or Harry can get access...and I know not of their intentions.
But it seems like a lot of people out there, behind the cloak of anonymity, take perverse pleasure in condemning others, ridiculing them, and even hurting...
The internet has unleashed the negative side of Man at our worst.
We glee in provoking and insulting, and enjoy sadistically bullying others.
We assassinate people with our words...
I do not know what I have done to even some of these people...heck...I do not even know some of them.
Maybe if it makes your day, to tear me to shreds...well, I am just wondering if you would have the same courage to say those things to my face. You may not like me...and if it makes your day to de-mean me, and attack my integrity, I just don't understand.
Dear God,
It is a trying time...especially when I am challenged in more ways than one.
Please help those who are not happy with me...fill them with a sense of inner peace...
So that they will not continue to do it to others.

(i'm writing with the assumption that those who insult,provoke etc with no acceptable reason)
ReplyDeletehey Mdm Adibah, I don't think you should take those people into any consideration.who really matters are those beloved to you ,right?not those anonymous people who don't even think over it after they harangue you (or anything it is), right?
They provoke, they insult.As if they are any better.
I believe strongly that everybody has his/her right to express him/herself as long as one means no harm.
I suppose their mentality is equal if not less than a child, demanding attention or just in need of fun they lack of( oh, they are so pitiful). if we yield to them, doesn't that mean we give them what they want? if we ignore them, i believe they will lose their stupid fun and get over it.I was always taught that.
cher, calm down ok? :)

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the concern. I know I shouldn't be too sensitive to such occurances...but it is not easy.
I suppose when I believe that 'if you have nothing good to say, then say nothing at all. I hold on to that adage, yet when remarks are vicious, I lose heart. But I will try...to be less emotional about these.
