Foot In Mouth Disease
We've all done it. Opened our mouths and out comes our opinion. I am reminded of a meme graphically and texturally describing what to do with one's opinion that involved an opinion some lubricating gel and the owner's rectum.
Many of us are guilty of this and the shame it brings. How many times have we collectively posted some dumb shite on a social media page or other when riled, only to later realise later how utterly self-righteous, preachy and opinionated it was... Thank the gods for the edit button, except it is already far too late, but we, or at least I feel somewhat relieved in the delusion that we have "fixed that shit" by editing or deleting a post...
However, just like that angry email you send your boss and everyone on the mailing list, it is already too late. Now you own that.
The internet is a big fan we unwittingly or deliberately throw our personal metaphorical excrement at without realising just how far it goes and how permanent the stain is. At least things we say in the open air dissipate in much the same way passing wind does.
