26 October 2012: Friendly Reminder

by jcyf94

Do not delete posts or notes that you deem inappropriate, offensive, emotionally driven or a compromises to your privacy after further speculation. When you hit the enter key, the fate is sealed.

Facebook might or might not care for what is in your mind, but there are entities who pay attentions to “thought purity” and “mental hygiene”, have histor…ical habits of surveilance and thought re-education, and persecution of individuals deemed subversive and unworthy of living. It might or might not be what you think they are; it is the age of uncertainty.

When you delete it, you lose the ownership of your own words. If you forget and it is insignificant, you are fine. If you recognize it but forget the context, be forewarned. People will, and did think of ways unimaginable to go after you for reasons unbeknownst to you, or only to you. I might be the last to record this down, even though it happened three years ago and the psychological repercussions only intensify to unbearable magnitude.

You never know who is out to get you and who you have offended. Unfortunately, I have inadvertently revealed too much of myself to have a chance to be immuned from future assaults. You can treat it as a rumour or you can start figure out, then teach the prudent way of using social media. It is trendy to kick a person when he is down, or hurl vicious insults to hurt a stranger for pleasure. Try show your scars to help a fellow man/woman; I would have helped me tremendously.

Have a heart. Inform someone who might still have a chance.
