The pillar

In the manner of Kafka

Privacy is a fundamental right, a pillar of our human dignity. Like a medieval castle, it protects us from prying eyes, hasty judgments, and malicious interests. It offers us a safe haven, a comfort zone where we can be ourselves, without fear or reproach.

But this protection comes at a cost. Like a vigilant guardian, it cuts us off from the outside world, confining us to our own ivory tower. It can leave us alone, isolated, sometimes even anxious, with our own thoughts, fears, and doubts. This quest for protection is a tortuous path, a constant challenge that requires constant vigilance.

However, despite its limitations, this protection remains a symbol of our individual freedom, of our ability to flourish as human beings. It offers us a space of privacy, where we can explore our own identity, our deepest desires, without fear of the opinions of others.

In short, privacy is crucial to our mental well-being, emotional health, and personal development. It allows us to be free and explore the world at our own pace, in complete safety. It is therefore important to preserve, defend, and cherish it so that we can continue to grow as human beings with complete peace of mind.
