The easy Logic on Net Life

People who have issues with the amount of self-induced publicity on the net should undergo therapy sessions and net lessons 101.

Internet elevates social connectivity in a broader perspective that it creates another face of life in its own. Friendsters, Multiplies, Facebooks, Myspace and personal blogs or personal sites create another window to be possibly viewed by those who tread the realms of modernity. As long as these sites are done in good faith, conceptualized with truth and nothing but, then it's been made to be seen. It's quite different if a certain site has an ounce of security measures, it's all in the user's preference anyways. But what I see as illogical is that some people whine about being viewed by complete strangers or random people when they have perfectly signed up to enter into a world of limitless viewing. Others are just amusing, some think they're celebrities and ultimately get affected in the end. If it bothers the person that much, then he or she should impose regulatory measures on who gets to view or not, but please blaming the medium and the viewer is ridiculous. There is no reason for hyperventilating. It's ludicrous to know that a person posts an extension of himself out there, makes his life and ideas public, and then one day curses that he's being viewed or much more deduce it to a convoluted psychological analysis. He or she either throws net tantrums or just chooses to disappear.

This "net world" might not be entirely a reality, and it doesn't necessarily make up ones entire life, but it is an extension therefore a part of human life. It is a part that a person can freely sign up for. But some certain pre-requisites though. This requires maturity, independence, accountability, passion and truth. Some can handle it, some don't, but there's no reason whining and exaggerating about it.

It goes to show that I don't mind if a certain president, a 12 year old or an object of disgust enters my social world or reads my blog. I am perfectly an adult to realize the predicaments of this situation, thank you very much. The last thing I would do is to whine about it, curse this medium and throw exaggerated tantrums on people just because of the infinite connectivity on the net. There's much as responsibility to the viewer and to the author. If you're being viewed do not dwell on too much flattery, irritation or paranoia. Take it as it is. You created a window. There's no use in shattering and covering it up. If you don't want to be viewed, stay out of this medium. Or if you you don't want to be that "popular" to be viewed, then be an ignoramus, hermit or stay out of trouble in the real world. That's pretty much a good and applicable advice, since this "networld" you signed up for is, after all, an extension. It's a two way street and not a one way thing. If a person can't handle this dynamic and mature world, might as well just result to a diary and live in an island. Just spare us the unwanted drama.

AND PS: Those who whine and exaggerate in foamy psycho babble, might not have their lives all that anyways. So Den, don't be paranoid honey. I'll get you that coverletter tomorrow.
