Anonymity is a concept that has existed throughout history. We all know of the anonymous letter, anonymous donations to charity and the anonymous tips to police.
In every case, there is no connection between the message and an identifiable individual. The message stands alone.
The advantage of anonymity is that the sender is without responsibility, or rather, they are only responsible for themselves. This can be beneficial if one does not desire the attention that a controversial point of view, large donation, or revelation of important information would bring.
Anonymity gives security, freedom and a lack of responsibility. Complete anonymity is difficult, indeed almost impossible, to maintain in the real world - at least if we are to interact with our surroundings.
Siri Anderson on 15 Jun 16This is the Storybird host of my mom's artwork. We are still uploading more work, but there is a good start here. You can use it for free, but we are donating any proceeds generated from sales of her work (as prints, images in stories, notecards, or iPhone cases for instance) to Lewy Body Dementia Association. Also trying to gather stories from others who have or work with people with Lewy Body to improve understanding and care for people with this heinous disease. See her linked website for more on that.
