Privacy is one of the most important rights we deserve, which implies a personal space where we can do things we usually don’t do in public. If our privacy is traded in exchange for something else, the consequence is having no privacy at all, and therefore, we end up having a place where, e.g., we can work in a private project, or be free either to become naked or to get intimate with another person no more. The outcome is the same when our privacy gets violated, which implies living with no rights of having, e.g., a personal space where we establish a safe ground accessed by ourselves or intentionally shared with others through an invitation only. The question posed here is really simple: Would we be comfortable with getting no privacy at all until the end of our life? Even those people who trade their privacy by money answer no for this question at some point in space and time. Thus, if privacy is essential for establishing a healthy way of life, what do we expect to get when violating the privacy of others? The answer for that question is also quite simple: we get to see, hear, and have contact with something we would never be seeing, hearing, or having contact with if performing no privacy’s violation at all, as well as we need to deal with all the consequences that such a violation we’re committing brings to our life. Let’s reflect a bit: Were the majority of inventions, methods, practices, and ways of experiencing a meaningful life designed, created, developed, and validated privately or publicly? The moment we realise the true answer, it’s the moment we understand why privacy is the foundation for developing our inspiration, creativity, and way of life, as well as establishing the suitable foundation to step into higher stages of our personal evolution, no matter the circumstances.
It needs to become crystal clear that if we violate the privacy of others the problem of seeing, hearing, or having contact with something we would never be seeing, hearing, or having contact with is ours alone and never of a person who gets the privacy violated. It’s also important to become crystal clear we’re in a period of history where slavery is an allowed common practice no more, which implies it isn’t legal anymore to have or observe some troubled minds considering themselves as a superior race with the full rights of enslaving others and deciding the rights those enslaved people get whether to deserve. Thus, based on that common understanding, any privacy violation we get to experience, no matter the circumstances, is a violation of a fundamental human right, and although we’re already in the 21st century, some troubled minds still have difficulties both to understand and to accept that.
When we start keeping consciousness at hand while within a private space, we start understanding whatever we do alone in the heart of our privacy is something we’re doing in private because we’ve decided not to share with anyone else at that specific moment in space and time. As a consequence, if we get that moment we’re alone violated by someone else that has managed to access our private space without our own permission, is that violation a problem with origin within ourselves? Or is it originated by a troubled mind who may think they’re superior race and can do whatever they want to? If we keep consciousness at hand to figure out the answers for those questions, we eventually attain the understanding that the majority of people keep living in an illusion of superiority, where they find themselves performing different types of violations they want to bear no consequences at all.
Next time we do something where privacy gets involved, let’s think a bit: Would we like to get our moments of privacy—whatever we’re doing—violated, and sometimes, shared by someone else without our clear informed consent? If we answer no for that question, it’s time to keep consciousness at hand to become aligned with our love nature, and violate no privacy of anyone else; otherwise, we need to be totally aware of dealing with the consequences of such a violation, and that’s indeed a tough truth with, sometimes, a serious outcome.
