Pilgrimage

The Internet is a horrible place.

It is and you don't need to know me to trust what I'm telling you.

The Internet is one of the three great things in the future downfall of civilisation (the other two things being greed and Margaret Thatcher), and it's this way because? Because humankind is essentially more prone to being mean and nasty than it is to be anything else. The Internet compounded isolation, it made it a force to be reckoned with because it gave the isolated a way of having a voice and remaining isolated and in turn allowing shattered personalities to run amok venting their own frustrations on others while feeling safe behind the glare of a computer screen.

I've often seen people say, "you wouldn't be like that if this was a face-to-face conversation" and equally I've seen occasions where the old double bluff is played when someone suggests meeting up to prove whether that theory is right or wrong.

For every friendship that is formed on the Internet you can bet there are 5 possible relationships that will be terminally shattered because of the degrees of maturity missing from some people who frequent this ethereal wilderness.
