Everyone knows that this is virtual, but there's something that makes everyone mad and upset and it's the words. Some words can cause drama because it triggers a painful part in our memories and that's how drama is caused. That's why sometimes people say ''Think before you speak.''. But on this case is ''Think before you type'', why? Because we don't know who's behind the computer and it could be hurting them. Like when people joke about ''Cancer and etc''... It's not funny to those who lost or have a family member under that condition. Or about when people joke about something that's really hurtful and the person knows it, then it could be on purpose. Rocks and twigs may break bones, but words can break your emotions. I always said that this is just virtual and nothing we say or do is real, but I'm also wrong because some words trigger emotions. Like laughing, crying, scared and all the other emotions.
So be careful with what you say because you don't know the person behind the computer because it may be hurting them.

You are right, Happydiamonbreeze. We don't know what that user has gone trough in real life. Maybe they have lost someone very important to them. If we make jokes about our loved ones, it might trigger emotions. You are very wise.

Thanks, Orbay, but I also write this kind of stuff to show people something. Which is showing them what we always are bad at noticing, until it's a bit too late to fix them. Plus I have been in all these situations and applied them to the way of life, so I want everyone to know what I been seeing all these time and my experiences. I always make post with a lesson in them because I want everyone to learn before they make these very same mistakes. And if they already made them then they need to fix it before it gets worse! All my recent post that I made this week is because I keep seeing them and I want it to stop. Because many people are leaving for these very same reasons, either they are out of lack of trust, lack of respect or another reason. No one ever notice that we all are humans behind the computers and that we each have feelings.
