Is Snooping Justified ?
Curiosity is a very human instinct which often leads to snooping.All of us might have been victims to some form of snooping at some point of our lives.Aunties in the neighbourhood,overly curious relatives,friends or even our very own parents try to snoop into our lives,sometimes invading our privacy.At many points of our lives,we too may have snooped on someone for our own reasons.However,does the fact that snooping is a very human habit justify it?
Snooping is an activity that is justified by our own instincts.If there is anything that could get someone to snoop,it would be the temptation.The temptation to know something out of the ordinary about someones life.This temptation causes us to get our snooping goggles out in the open.
The emotions that accompany snooping are usually insecurity,jealousy,excessive clinging and game playing and it causes enough drama to satisfy the appetite of the drama hungry people.All this happens because you want to know everything that happens in the life and mind of the people you care about or just because your own life just lacks enough drama for your liking.It all depends on your intentions.
Our relatives' and neighbours excessive curiosity annoys us because they invade our privacy by being 'general snoops'.They have no valid reason for being concerned about the little things in our lives,but they still snoop and try to give us their opinions and unwanted advice.It really just depends on "why" you're doing it.
If one cannot ask,then one does not need to know.It really that simple.People go around asking others about the lives of someone they're interested in knowing about.Instead,if the matter concerns them so much,cannot they just go to the concerned person and ask? Why play Chinese Whispers and form an opinion about someone based on the half-baked information they have about their lives?
If there is something that can stop snooping,it is Respect,Trust,Intimacy and Straight forwardness.Respect and Trust are reason enough to stop you.These are crucial to healthy relationships.Hence,the next time we choose to snoop into someones life,we should ask ourselves if it is possible for us to just be straightforward and ask them instead of being sneaky little rats.If that is not possible,we should ask ourselves if our reason for snooping is valid enough to invade someones privacy.Perspective plays a very important role in such situations.If you feel you are right,go ahead with it.But be warned,someone might not take it in a nice way and your curiosity may have bitter repercussions
In the end,we're all humans and its hard for us to withhold our wish to know everything.
