There is a Price to Pay for Every Action Whether You are an Open Book or Hide in the Shadows.

I’ve noticed the anonymity of being online emboldens people.  Some people are braver or driven to do things they wouldn’t otherwise do in real life.  Real life has repercussions.  People know who you are in real life.  People can see you in real life.  People talk in real life.  It’s uncomfortable.  There is a certain safety when you are anonymous.  There are those who feel as if they are capable of so much more.  Some people even feel as if they are capable of anything.  For some, being behind a computer screen is akin to wearing a mask.  Sadly many do not realize that there is a price to pay for every action whether you are an open book or hide in the shadows.
