While it is cathartic to share like this, is nobody worried that this information might be used against them? While I do agree with Steve's ideas, we all must live in the hard cold real world. These words and sentiments are wonderful, but with the click of a mouse anyone who bears you ill for any reason may be able to obtain information to use against you. Many of us have jobs that are crucial to our life paths, involving working for others who have power over us. I know Steve would encourage such a person to quit their job, but if that is not feasible because doing that work is an integral part of your path, then it is unwise, in my opinion, to share one's shame freely over the internet.

Share shame with a trusted source, not the whole world.
