the subject of privacy came up in a conversation i had the other day....
basically we were debating about the importance of privacy....
i personally value my privacy....and i really mean value...
i don't let anyone go through my bags....my wallet...my daily planner....my computer....my emails...my handphone....
someone said its probably because i'm single...
my question was "what does being single have to do with anything???"
it shouldn't make a difference whether i'm single...married...divorced...widowed...lesbian...gay... or anything else in between...
there are just certain things that should be kept private...
not because you have anything to hide.....
but because i believe that regardless of what your marital status is a person should still maintain a life of their own....
everyone needs their own personal space....no???
then the word "trust" came into play....ooh...big word....
by sharing everything with your other half....you are merely declaring that you have nothing to hide...
therefore...your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/mother/father will be able to trust you....
is it just me or does that sound absolutely ridiculous?
trust is not earned by letting other people read your sms's...your emails...your phone book...etc.
if that's the case then yes...i don't trust anyone...and no one should trust me either...
illegalben did mention that its probably because guys have a reputation of being sneaky and snakey.....
so in some ways i can say "you men brought it upon yourself"
but on the other hand...it doesn't justify a breach in privacy....
another handy tool is the friendfinder....
no explanations needed there....
it seems that privacy is now a privilege and not a given....
its like the patriot act has been enforced to all mankind....
are we looking for terrorists or cheating partners?
