Indifference: Secrets

Saturday, February 03, 2007

We all have secrets that we keep close to our hearts. Something personal, a thought, a feeling, some information which we want to keep away from the knowledge of others. Why is a secret a secret I wonder? Is it pride that prevents one from revealing the truth? One might be embarrased if the truth is revealed. Embarassment is tied up with one's pride as well. Well, it also depends on the nature of the secret. Or is it fear? A fear that the knowledge of this secret by others will result in far greater implications? Or cowardice...fear of what there is to come- the unforseeable.

Sometimes, secrets are leaked out. How does that happen? Could it be guilt? The guilt of keeping something to yourself. Something serious others ought to know...which you can't tell. Or Overwhelming emotions....Which one finally succumbs in his/her own internal world and reveals it. The responsibility of keeping stuff to oneself is certainly one that requires mental discipline and emotional stability...But we are only human...To keep stuff internally perpetually seems more android than human. However, some people do indeed carry their secrets to their deathbed, never to be known by the future generations to come...burried away...

I have a secret...and that is I have a secret that Im bringing with me to NZ. hahaha!
