There has been a trend lately where people bully others on the internet. I wrote about this a few days ago. The anonymity of the internet makes some people much braver than they usually are, and others feel that they are having private conversations, and that the person will not hear about. It is the internet, any expectation of privacy is totally ridiculous.
I had a client receive copies of what a person was saying about her on a social networking site. She sued and won. The comments were slanderous and crossed a line. The person was a fellow church member.
When did we lose the concept of what spirituality means.....it doesn't mean being quiet in the face of wrongs, but it doesn't mean carrying on like a 2 year old and personally attacking a person. It isn't all right, at all, no matter what the situation. Just becasue it is the internet doesn't mean all the rules go out the window..
I had a colleague attacked the other day, and it was by another "spiritual adviser". There are people that do all kinds of ritual, ceremony, and counseling, that act in a completely NONspiritual way. When you see this happen, call them out....
The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who do nothing.-Albert Einstein
I have stated this many times. When you allow someone to do wrong, it is as if you are ALSO doing the wrong thing. When you are a person who claims to be religious or spiritual, this is especially true. We are not in a popularity contest we are in life.
DO the right things for the right reasons- Me
DO unto others......
