Forgetting that we are human

It's amazing this thing called the internet. With it I can follow my friends next door or reach out to someone across the country. It really is a useful tool, but I think sometimes it is a dangerous one. It's easy to forget that behind those pixels on a screen is a real live breathing feeling human being. This modern age doesn't make us accountable for what we do. We can say what ever we wish, do as we please and if we hurt someone over the internet or through texts we can shut off the computer, block them out, ignore their texts and shut them out. Eventually they will go away because after all who really cares they were pixels anyhow. We can justify it by throwing ourselves into our work, school and into our lives and go on with the tangible. The computer is just a tool and the things on it don't deserve respect, it's just a machine and just pixels. Nothing esoteric there.

I think it's DE-evolved us as a race. We can hurt people, do real damage to them and not have to face the consequences. Regardless if you are Christian or Neo-Pagan the rule of three applies. It doesn't matter if you say, “you reap what you sow” or “What ever you do good or bad will come back to you three fold.” We can't think of ourselves as enlightened human beings when we turn a blind eye to our actions. We are accountable for our actions. In this life you are free to live your life any way that you choose, but you are not free from the consequences. Those of us who are truly enlightened aren't so fool hardy to think that we don't make mistakes, because we do. We just know that when we do, we have to make reparations. Evolved people value life and energy, spirituality and harmony.

One of my favourite quotes: “Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It’s not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make, period.” — Brenda Slavin from Elements of Your Life

To my friend who was so hurt badly by someone she thought loved her. Chin up. You are an amazing person, strong, brave and beautiful. I know that you have spent the day in tears, but that just proves you are human and not pixels. You can lean on me, I've got broad shoulders. I heard this song and thought of you.
