Courage

It takes great courage to look at yourself and your actions and to say, 'I did something wrong here…'

I don’t know what mental gymnastics occurred in your head that justified you reading my personal diaries and entries. I don’t know.

If you have abandonment issues, you need to go and get counselling.

People come into our lives, and people leave our lives. The moment you start to believe and say that people don't have the right to leave our lives is when you become psychologically unhealthy.

That is when you start to justify reading a person’s personal diary entries without their consent, particularly when you have no relationship with them and are essentially strangers. You perform mental gymnastics, feeling you are 'entitled' to do so because of this or that reason.

At best, it is snooping; at worst, it is illegal. Even if you've used some legal loophole, it is the spirit of the law that has been broken, if not the letter of the law.

Aside from the legal implications, if it were possible for my opinion of such individuals to drop any further, it most certainly has reached a low level from which there is no coming back.
