Never Give Anyone Too Much Information

Where wolf’s ear are, wolf’s teeth are near. Volsunga Saga

We live in a world where the majority of people share their life freely on social media, email, text messages, Messenger, and even in conversations. Most people don’t think about who may actually be listening or reading what they share with the world, as if there is no danger in this practice at all. Think about how simple texts and emails have destroyed some politicians, actors, and others.

The fact is, this is a very unwise practice in today’s world. You don’t know who may be hacking into your email, phone, computer, or simply eavesdropping on your conversation at the restaurant. There are many bad people in this world who have a field day with some of the information they find online and overhear in person.

If you are posting photos of your trip, and telling everyone what a great time you are having, you just announced to the wolves that you are out of town and your home is an easy target. If you just sent your bank account user name and password to your wife over a text or email, who knows whose eyes may see that personal information. You never know when the most innocent conversation will be used against you.

There is an Irish proverb which states, “Fences have ears.” It means to be very careful about what you say and who may be listening, especially when discussing any information which could be used against you in some way.

Keep private things private. Never give anyone information which they can later use against you. It is better to be careful with what you share, than to be blindsided by some you said that is being used against you down the road. Always be aware of who may be listening. Be smart how you share personal thoughts and information, and with whom you share it.
