How tough is it to keep a secret? OK, agreed. It might be a little difficult if especially the secret is of a person who is your enemy or whom you don't bother about. But why do people make these mistakes of sharing secrets of their close confidants. Is Trust antique? Does this exist anymore? Are people to be trusted for their integrity?
Forget about secrets, even small details people have this urge to discuss, share, spread. Rumors. How much they enjoy spreading them. What is it that makes these people happy about doing this? I feel good about myself when I contain someones secret. I feel valued when someone confides in me, and I take it as an obligation to keep it with me forever. I see no joy in doing it otherwise.
I really want to know what goes on in people's mind when they let out a secret. Are they trying to win a new friend by letting out another friend's secrets? Last time when I did that...was in my school days. It was to get back at one of my friends who became my enemy. Does this trick still work? Hurting someone by letting out their secrets? Have not people grown up?
I really value silence. I really think not sharing is the best one can do to themselves. With time everything shall pass, and there really is no need to share a secret with anyone. Somehow being less open to people made my life peaceful. Even if I share I ensure that the person I share my secrets with, have no connection to my family, professional life or the rest of my friends. It was difficult to find these unique pearls, but am glad I did. People with character, integrity and most importantly respect for me.
A problem at work I share it with someone from my personal life who has no way to connect to my work life. Not now, not in future. A problem in personal life, I share it with some good old friend who cannot again connect back to my family or people close to me. I might be different to different people, but keeping my secrets is as important as to keeping my identity. My sanity.
