Are you my mother

So i knew this was going to happen eventually as it always does.

Does anyone notice that people feel its okay to do things they wouldn't normally do to your face.

For example, people tailgate each other. If you were in the grocery store would you tailgate someone with your shopping cart? No because they would see you doing it. But we all feel so safe and anonymous in our cars.

We scream and yell at customer service reps on the phone because they will never see our face.

But most of all is technology. I often read comments that people write underneath news articles. They almost always are vulgar, rude, and plain out nasty. People will post the meanest things because they know they'll never see or talk to this person in real life. They have hatred for someone they don't even know.

My biggest annoyance about this is people scolding you for your way of life. First of all you do not know me or my circumstances. Are you my mother? Are you trying to be? If i voiced this opinion to your face would you still say the same things to me. I think not.

I have a mom at home and she is awesome. Better then anyone in the entire world. But she is quite enough for me. I don't need virtual moms as well.

If you find yourself scolding random strangers or people online its time to look in the mirror and ask yourself what am i doing?
