The internet is a public toilet wall

1. The only reason why you would be affected of the written hate that is not even directed towards you is if you are guilty of something equally hateful. Stop biting into anonymous messages that aren't meant for you. It's pathetic, it's pitiful, it's disgusting.

That's a demand, and not a polite request.

2. You can't expect to find justice in answering back. No matter how many times you cross out other people's words, they have already been said. Retorting is nothing but a coping mechanism. You tell yourself, you're in control. If you don't have the right to have the last say on things, then you aren't the one who will laugh last.

3. You can be happy about your piece of the internet. You can be proud of it, so much that you shove it into other people's faces. You write it in big bold letters. You write using permanent ink. You mark your territory before somebody else claims it.

You create your own piece of the internet. Your own URL. Your own handle. Your own identity. All it takes is the push of a single button. Maybe a couple of buttons.

4. You can hide behind a fake address. You can fake your name. You can use somebody else's address. You can use somebody else's name. For what reason and for what cause? Mostly for cowardice.

You are always scared that people will learn who you really are. Or maybe even scared, that people will find out that who you are pretending to be is actually the real you.

5. You exist. You do not exist. Your existence is measured by the words you left behind, the pictures you've uploaded. After that, you log out.

You have taken a dump.




And then the internet was one more cup full of shit than it was ten seconds ago.
