When we live in a world of deception!

Being on the Internet, I have walked into a world to realise most of it is a deception as I have watched many people lie to each other about how they look, stealing some one else's picture, or name and pretending be someone there not. I've watched people deceive others because they wanted to get away with having more than one relationship.

I've heard stories that they make up about themselves, where they live, and maybe some of them, are protecting their identities, and life. At the same time you have hackers, and others out there that just want to cause problems with others for entertainment or personal gain. I live in a dishonest world most of the time.

Relationships on the Internet often make me wonder in our own ordinary lives off the Internet if people are doing the same thing, lying to others about their lives, and deceiving us to believe something that is not true.  If we are so dishonest on the Internet, how can we be honest off the Internet.

I have met those who believe if it's on the Internet they can do what ever they want to, because it is not in their personal world and life off the Internet. Yet they scar people and hurt them for their own entertainment to get a good laugh.  We wonder why we don't trust people in life on or off the Internet, because people are just not honest with themselves and each other.

It's amazing how I have even dated people in the past that deliberately lied to me, because they wanted to deceive me, only they forgot I had a caller ID, or at a letter at a later date telling me differently came in the mail. People lie for what ever reason they do.  Fortunately some lies affect peoples lives in a serious way financially, emotionally, or physically and even death.

It's very serious when you play with peoples emotions and heart strings as you date someone on the Internet. You may think that it is a game, but it's not.  These are people with real feelings and when you deceive people whether you meant to or not, you set them up to fall and get hurt emotionally. I can't say enough how I've seen teenagers do this as much as adults. We feel sometimes we have the right to play mind games with another person, and we don't have that right.

You may have thought it was just a joke, but someone gets hurt in the process. If you really don't seriously want a relationship with them, than don't lead them on. Don't pretend you like them, don't go after them because you think they look like someone you can take advantage of. There is nothing funny about it when you leave messages that you care about someone, and you really don't.

I've seen this when someone wants to bully someone, they will act like their friend and be a friend for so long, and take their conversations and display them for others and humiliated them, and the child ends up committing suicide.  I've also seen where they turn on them and get vicious and tear them down verbally and emotionally till they have no self esteem left.

When we demonstrate deception and lies in the world in our relationships we teach children to do the same.  We may not think how we harm people on the Internet in relationships or off, but we do when we intentionally play with peoples lives, emotions, and heart strings.

Doesn't matter if you are on a network, or game, or hubs, or blogs for that matter, any place you take it upon yourself deceiving someone about your intentions in their lives than you are harming someone.  You may never know what happen to them afterwards, but many people do attempt suicide, or hurt themselves because someone bullied them, insulted them, or flat out pretended to care about them when they didn't.

I've witnessed this many times and watched people insult another with vulgar language and tear them down, and it was no big deal to them. They didn't care what they were doing. They didn't seem the harm in it.  It infuriated me and I did intervene because no one has the right to diminish someone into nothing, just because they are bored, or don't have anything better to do with their lives.

Usually I felt these people were just filled with anger, and hurting themselves to feel they could go around doing the same to others.  We may never live in a perfect world, but everyone knows what it is like to have some one discriminate, be lied, be deceived, and insulted by someone. We all have one time or another.

We should just take a stand in being the example to others whether we are on the Internet or off of it. Everyone deserves to be respected regardless if we agree with each other or not. We can just simple agree to disagree and walk away.
