Who watches the watchmen?

Hello world!

These are the two words that some programmers include on their codes when building some kind of software that runs communications.
It is not without a sense of irony that the world is actually listening.
Well, not the world per se. But rather the 'watchmen', those that make intelligence their business.
Alas with all the paranoia that our reptilian brains can produce, it is no wonder that we end up spying each other, because there is no such thing as trust.
In the hearts of everyone there is always a small hint of suspicion, and so we convince ourselves that for the greater good, privacy is no commodity to be handed out but rather something to be purged under the false pretense that we will all be much safer if there are no secrets.
But this is no true, because the 'watchmen' will keep the secrets to themselves under the excuse national security.
Oddly enough, the biggest problem comes from the power which knowledges provides.
And as the adage goes: power corrupts, absolute power, corrupts absolutely.

So to you world, I say hello.
I know that someone, somewhere is reading.
This information is pointless to you the reader.
but it was a vent for me, the spied upon.

Truthfully, I do not really think I am worth the bug.
