WHAT+ARE+YOU+AVOIDING?

One reason people keep secrets is because they're scared of what other people will think. They are scared of another person's disapproval. If that's the case, I think people should rethink their lives. If you do something because you want to, well it's your life. If you feel that you can't tell someone about your latest actions, then maybe those aren't the people you should hang with. But let's look at this from another point of view. If you do something, like smoke and not tell anyone because you're supposed to be quiting, then maybe you need to work on self control. Or you need to have someone who is going to support you and help you instead of yell at you in disapproval. This way, you won't keep secrets and you will get whatever advice you need.

Maybe we keep secrets because we're sick of having the same conversations over and over again with people. Perhaps we find that when we keep things to ourselves, we avoid the repetative discussions that we don't want to involve ourselves in over and over again.

So what if we just threw the truth out there? What if secrets didn't exist? Then what would we be avoiding?

Why are secrets bad?
