Why do we keep secrets?
There are big ones, small ones, embarrassing ones, secrets that could get us into trouble, or others.
And usually, they won't stay secret for long. So why do we persist in keeping them?
My POP is that we need secrets. They empower us. Give us something to help us feel one-up over those who aren't in the know. Something to cling on to. Give us depth. Something to worry over.
Without them, we feel less meaningful. Insipid. Bland.
So I say all hail to our secrets!
Be they silly, serious, small or big; long may they give us confidence to face the world.
