Who has the most responsibility in keeping information where it should be? Now we have settings saying "Public" "Friends Only" "Private" that make it more difficult to conclude how people should behave when holding on to the things they read. Should everyone just make it all "Friends Only" because one self-made hero out there will mishandle certain things? I've had to do that for mostly legal purposes, but what about for gossip purposes?
I left a lot of the stuff I said open to the world because I didn't want to hide myself and occasionally I had some things to say that were really important to me. So why is it that when I have something horrible happen to me and it only stays "Public" for a day, that's when someone acts on the urge to print it and start asking questions in the place I live? I mean, really, when you read something that obviously has legal implications that need to be respected and not crossed, why then does that information get printed and spread around?
When I put that event up, it was out of hurt, anger, shame, and so many other things I can't begin to list. I took it down because it wasn't the right time for that to be used in any preventative action, and instead, dealing with the actual event was more important. Is whatever you run across on the internet that much of a free-for-all? That one short-term act of raw emotion and the desire to be heard is snatched up and shown to people who have zero right to know?
There are so many things I want to do about what happened to me. So many people I want to tell, so many things I want to say, but it isn't the right time. Maybe I made a mistake writing that entry, but I really don't feel that sorry. I feel more sorry for the people who can't let go of their sense of control and let things be handled by the people who need to. Taking things into your own hands can really be horribly damaging for the ones who need help. And I don't even know who decided to, this time! All I know is that my pain was shown to someone I don't trust, someone that's hurt me in the past, someone I can't let see me on the inside again.
So yeah. More shit happens to me and I move on once more. And this is the first thing made "Public" in a while, simply because maybe it'll hit home with one "innocent bystander". If not, it's just one more useless babbling episode for people to read and shake their heads at.
