Keeping a secret can be difficult. It gets even more
difficult when we know the piece of information is absolutely scandalous. How
many of us make solemn promises to not tell a soul and casually forget when a
gossiping session gains momentum at a friend’s meet up?
We all know the consequences of leaking out a story can be
nasty , there would be heartbreak, anger and ultimately loss of trust. Then why
do we feel it uncontrollable to disclose someone’s deepest secrets? Is it
always out of negligence or do we conveniently omit out the consequences?
Thinking, it won’t harm us then why not tell?!
Sometimes when a secret revolves around someone’s private
life, we often feel it our birth right to pass judgments. Is it because it places
us on a higher moral ground? Or are we too desperate for attention that we can
cross any boundaries to get those 15 minutes of limelight?
Are we all addicted to sensationalism and are secretly
looking for drama in others life? Why is it that the only means of happiness
left in some people’s life is to secretly wish others would goof up in some way
or the other? Why can’t we focus in just our own lives?
Keeping a secret is a tough responsibility. It takes great
self control, will power and a sense of responsibility to listen and to stay
silent, which is why we must not expect just anybody to take upon it sincerely
and behave responsibly with our private affairs.
If you are a private person and you like keeping to yourself
it is best that personal matters are best to share with that certain someone
who you truly trust.
For those who are trusted with, should understand that a
shared problem is like someone’s possession that is asked to be taken care of.
Being careless with it is like stealing from someone. If you think you lack the
will to keep a secret it is best to not involve yourself in matters you feel
you won’t be able to keep.
Be responsible, feel privileged you are trusted with some
one’s matter and try to keep up to promises as this can help someone greatly!
