*Do two rights make a privilege?*

I've been reading so many blogs/diaries/journals/sites that I'm amazed at how so many strangers can come together and find strength in numbers. It's like, A reads B, B reads C, C reads A and at the end of the day, each of them adds the other 2 and all 3 become part of this every-growing online community.

From then onwards, they can choose to meet up after some time, have coffee, hang out, slack and bitch together and then realise that even though they're 3 perfectly different individuals, they do have some things in common, that they're not so different after all. Or, they could just choose to remain stolid pals over blogs/diaries/journals/sites and be safe and happy in their own lives. Which isn't such a bad choice either, considering A could be a mad surgeon in disguise, B could be a paedophile and C could be a kleptomaniac.

Takes all kinds to make up this world.

But, straying away from the cynical, with newly-met-friends comes the not-so-good. Such as slander, malice and hurt.

Someone can easily leave unwanted messages on your board or nasty emails in your inbox, and even if you don't know who the person is, you still get hurt. Of course, it hurts when you get a complete stranger bitching about you right on your board, but it hurts even more when someone you think is your friend leaves you a letter, stating that he/she is severing the friendship you guys have. It's even worse if this so-called friend emails someone else and writes nasty things about you. I mean hey, even if those things were true, he/she has no right to publish them to the world.

No one has the right to judge another. No one.

Only God has that right.
