Privacy Concerns

[wirralbagpuss]

I had a conversation last night with someone in which disturbing information was relayed to me and i subsequently found it difficult to selep afterwards. it angers me that people do not know the meaning of the word privacy and respecting that right. Trust is also another concept people seem to have a hard time with as well. Trust is very important to me and i have seen that trust broken on several occasions in the past.

I deplore anyone who breaches these two fundamental concepts. It is one thing to decieve a friend or someone in a good cause ie surprise birthday party or something wonderful and fun like as this is for the greater good. But to decieve someone malicously and without just cause is unacceptable. i have kept secrets. There has only been one time when i felt compelled to stand as a witness against someone and that was because i knew what was happening was wrong and decietful. So i wrote a witness statement. i had to think long and hard about that too because for me to take action against anyone is very rare indeed as i do care about the feelings of others, though i know full well that there will be and are  people who  dont give a damn about mine.

I am saddened to learn of the disturbing information last night. In part it is my fault because i know i am far too trusting of people. I know that is a major failing of mine. I place far too much trust in people and as a result i get badly hurt because my trust is abused. But if i start to trust noone then the world would be a darker place indeed for i would start to be dimissive of everyone! And i would not want that!  I do try to choose my friends carefully though and those who i do regard as friends i do so because i feel i can trust in them. i dont go round being friends with just anyone! That would be unwise! But friendship is about trust, it is about caring for others and wanting to help and also to share both good and bad times in one's life.  To catch someone when they fall, to hold and comfort them and also to share and celebrate the good moments too.

So i feel very sorry for anyone who does not understand these important concepts.  I guess it speaks volumes about how sad their lives must be if they feel they have to act in such a deceptive manner.
