For the sake of perspective.
Look at the number of posts since SF was created in 2004

lots of exchanges here.
Now think about the 'typed but do not posted' or 'deleted' or 'thought but not typed' posts. Just think of how often you've wanted to say something but held back, or how often you've typed something and reconsidered it before posting. Or how many posts you've deleted. There is more than one nomad on SF.
What about all those posts we jump on in 'attack' mode... how significant are they really that we need to do such a thing? We'll never know the ones that slipped by, undetected. Unposted.
Imagine how cluttered SF would be if all of that was here too.
So, we think we're 'all-that' and we've got technology to help us weed through our posts etc. but imagine it on a scale of all humanity, for all time. The seen and the unseen, the spoken and the unspoken, the hidden and the revealed... we may be nomadic in our dealings with each other, we may be secretive with one another... we may be selective with one another... we may think we've discovered 'truth' and that we know what goes on in the lives and thoughts of others... but, really? How in the world is that even remotely possible?
Alhamdulillah, we have the capacity to grasp this.
Allahu Akbar!
