Secret...

"Hey, come closer, I've got a secret to tell you...

But promise me you won't tell anyone okay?"

"OK."

Here's the thing.

Do you believe that whoever you told your secrets to actually KEPT the secrets to themselves?

I'm not implying that EVERYONE can't keep secrets but I think many people can't.

*shhhh.....*

(notice that the zip is not fully zipped)

Okay, sometimes it was because you did not remind the fellow NOT to tell it out.

That is your own negligence.

You can't blame anyone.

The Chinese would say "Tai lei sei".

But how about when you specifically told them not to tell it out?

Some people still will tell it out anyway.

Why?

For starters, people love to gossip.

We can't help but to tell people what happened etc.

Especially if it involves the people around us.

If it is petty things like you did not shave that day, that's no big deal.

If it gets out, people will just take it as a joke of the day.

*haha*

But what if it involves other people, especially people around you?

Some people did not know the consequences of telling out people's secrets.

It may ruin friendships and relationships.

So how to make sure our secrets are kept?

If you must tell it somebody about someone, make sure that that particular person is really trustworthy.

Now, how do you measure someone's trustworthiness?

I'm not sure but if that person told you someone else's important-must-kept secrets to you before,

I think he/she is a no-no.

Another way is by telling someone who do not have any relationship or connection with the person you are talking about.

Anyhow, I think the best way is to zip it.

Sometimes, some things are really better kept to ourselves.

My point is, when you tell somebody you've got a secret,

actually....

I learnt it the hard way not to trust people so easily.

To be honest, it actually took a little for people to gain my trust.

But at the same time, it also takes just a little for me to stop trusting people.

But this whole thing is just MY point of view.

Let me know what YOU think.
