The Internet Doesn't Allow Us To Forget...

Bredbo Valley View Farm (yea, I go through all kinds of very random blogs) had a post recently that included this quote:

I read an article today about a judge who believes the internet doesn’t allow us to forget. His opinion is that in the past, pre digital days, people would forget bad things people had said or done and over time forgive them for their indiscretions.

This message seems to be kicking my as… smacking me (and some blogger buddies I know of) around a lot recently.

It’s undeniable that the internet, especially blogs, can bring up things we would normally lock away in our journals and set aside … not only emotionally, but physically as well when that journal has been filled and put away somewhere. I find the insight that can be shared here by some in comments could be rewarding while I’m at this very lost juncture in my life right now, but there are moments when I’m not sure if it’s worth it to be candid here...
