Publicity - Good or Bad?

All of us have secrets, little bits of information which we prefer to hide from the rest of the world. Secrets about ourselves, secrets about our loved ones. Everyone hides a different person inside themselves from the rest of the world.

We keep our secrets safe with us until someone extremely trustworthy comes along and we slowly release our secrets to them. Secrets bind people together and can create stronger relationships. I do not deny the fact that many secrets are vile and dirty and play major roles in perfectly healthy relationships and lives. Secrecy can lead to dishonesty but not all secrets are dishonest.

The issue of publicity and secrecy

Publicity is definitely a good thing. Many things need to be out in the open, need to be  shared. But then again, all publicity is not good publicity.

Imagine if everything on our minds was out there in the open for everyone to read and access. We are but human. We have been given the choice of what we want to hide from the world and what we want to reveal.  Like it or not, admit or deny it, we all have secrets, and would loathe it if these secrets were out in the open.
