Private Access
State of Being : Do you know what is the definition of "Private"?
My boss once commented to me that she does not know much about my family or what I do during my free time during one of my personal development evaluation and therefore I may appear unapproachable to others at times. But I beg to differ when it comes to private life. Afterall, there is a reason why it is known as "private life" and not "public life". By definition, private refers to "involving someone's domestic and personal life rather than his or her work or business", so obviously I am less willing to share such info with just anyone.
That being said, it amazes me that there are people out there who are willing to share almost anything and everything about themselves with ANYONE! While celebrities are dying to keep their private lives out of the spotlight, we have another group of people who are all too willing to disclose the entire chapters of their personal lives - from courtship outings, anniversary celebrations, proposal butterflies, wedding preparations, house renovation, pregnancy joys, etc etc on the world wide web. Are they doing it for the attention or are they simply just so open to posting their own lives for others to scrutinize???
While I would like to stress that I am not adverse to sharing this info with family and friends, but when the info is posted on the internet via medium such as facebook or blogs where any Tom, Dick & Harry can have ready knowledge & access to my personal lives, that's where I'll draw the line!
