I've always been one of those people who isn't very open but lately I've been thinking about secrets.People all over the world look for places to post their own secrets anonymously: websites, magazines, newspapers, etc. What I wondered is why they do this? If they really didn’t want to share their secret why post it somewhere the whole world can access it? I mean I guess in this way the people they are close to can’t tell who it is and coming from my own prospective this is better but then I think back.
Whenever I share a secret to someone close by to me it always makes me feel happier. Letting something out to another means a lot to people and to my own self and in the end it was the right thing to do.
If someone keeps something from another this usually causes issues later when the secret is later discovered. What is usually said then? “If you had told me earlier it would have been OK”. So why don’t people take this advice? I would like to know what the world would be without secrets. What if everyone knew everything? Would that be too much or would the world function better? Secrets cause anxiety and stress but would no secrets be too revealing? When does the line between knowing “too little” and knowing “too much” cross in the perfect balance? What don’t we know about our president, our teachers, our parents? How would our lives change if we did know these things? Secrets are really quite powerful. I know I’m a hypocrite in my own belief of sharing but I still wonder.
