We value our privacy. It is why we have locks on our doors and gates. It is the same reason why we have designed our windows with exterior shutters such as the vinyl board and batten shutters. They are not just there to protect us against but weather but against burglars and other criminals. Even children are entitled to their privacy as well.
Our privacy is sacred to us not because we hold secrets behind close doors but because we all crave for individuality and autonomy. It is awkward when people invades our privacy. It is also uncomfortable when someone knows every nitty-gritty details about us, knows our every thought, and our every move. It feels like we are fish inside the aquarium or an animal in a cage for everyone's entertainment. In addition, we keep our privacy because want to protect ourselves against people who will use whatever information they can find about us against us. We are all aware that a lot of criminals or terrorists out there who are always ready to wreck havoc. They will do anything to steal our identity and use it to their evil ways. I am sure you do not like other people using your credit cards and other private information to their advantage.
Our personal information are not for public access. We should always make sure that these information are in a safe place. There are a lot of criminals out there who instead of using their genius for something worthwhile use it for something that will destroy us all. I know several people whose who were victims of identity theft and hacking. I am a victim of virtual hacking as well. Luckily, nothing was compromised. But there is one thing I have learned from that experience. Never challenge the hackers. Some may not be as bad as the rest but what they do is still an invasion of privacy.
