Secrets

    Secrets are strange things the surround our presence daily.  Firstly what are secrets? Secrets to me are defined to be knowledge that is to be kept private. This knowledge may be seen as useful or valuable to others, just something to draw interest or it could be completely useless to others.

         Why do we tell secrets in the first place? People mainly tell secrets to inform or gossip with the intention that the transferred information would be go not be widely spread. Secrets could be a good thing enabling your chosen people to be notified about the past, present and future. Secrets can be bad as they enable rumours to be passed around and different versions of original secrets are spread around many times which is when it could be the start of arguments.

      If secrets are to be told it is probably best that they are for good reasons and that they are about yourself and not others. Also they should be told to trustworthy people that you could count on as everyone needs someone they could talk to now and then. The reason why I say this is because if these secrets eventually do come out and they are about you it does not cause as much mayhem and you are not talking about anyone but yourself therefore it is only your business until you choose the involve anyone you else.

    Some people may feel happy that people can rely on them as they get told many secrets and others may just see people telling to secrets and just make assumptions like possibly thinking it was about them. This may cause rivalry between people which is just petty behaviour or sometimes understandable if someone does not tell you something and their actions make it appear like it was about you you may start to get a bit paranoid and grow in curiosity.

   I find the most annoying thing about secrets could possibly be when you trust someone and tell them something and they tell their companions and twist the story and it continues to happen as if it is some sort of vicious cycle until it reaches back to you. Then when you confront the person they lie blatantly to your face when they said they never said anything when you know full well they were the only person/ people you told. This is why it if you tell a secret the few people that know the better as then you know if something is repeated or just said it is a lot more easier to find out the distinction between your ‘friends’ and your friends.
