this modern glitch

Today it hit me how much of an effect technology has on this world, and more importantly relationships between people. With instant messaging, text messaging, and any other kind of media that can be used to send messages from one person to the other you can be whoever you want to be. The shy can sounds outgoing and crazy, the lovely people can be complete asses. Why? Because when you're not face to face with a person it's so much easier to say things, because you're not there to see their reaction, not there to see the hurt in their eyes. It's sad really, how much hate can be sent through text message yet when it comes to meeting people face to face it's like nothing has happened-the people involved are too scared to bring anything up.

So I guess we're all turning into cowards these days.
