Secrets

What is the nature of a secret? Something secret is only secret because someone else doesn't know about it. For example, what I ate for breakfast is a secret that not one other person on this earth knows. If I die right now, no-one would ever know, and it would be a secret forever. However, this does not mean that what I ate for breakfast is important. In fact, my breakfast menu is so inconsequential that I would not bother to tell you. You wouldn't care, and I don't care that you don't care, so everyone is happy. Right? No, wrong! I have recently discovered that some people expect to know these details!

But to those who must know everything no matter how unimportant I leave you with the following wise words by Henry Ward Beecher, "To know that one has a secret is to know half the secret itself."
