Revelations

The people who enlighten us are the ones who tell us their secrets.

  1. I don't tell everyone everything, but everything about me is known by someone(s). I've never felt it necessary to keep secrets about myself.

  2. The only secrets I keep, are the ones that are not my own. That being said, I do try to enlighten, and having no secrets, means I share everything. So in a round about way...yeah. *nod* I definitely like it.

  3. I'll be honest. This is too threatening to respond to candidly online. But it's a great question.

    I do reveal much of my insanity in my blog. I guess it could read as resentful and/or self-pitying. If it is, I take it with a grain of salt. It's an online persona, and I have fun with it. As a writer, I take joy in blowing minute annoyances into crises. Whether or not I like it, that's what I do best.

    Ok...I'm about to hit publish. Gulp.

  4. No true revelations could ever be found in lies.
    The truth of this aphorism is enlightening.

  5. Ack,

    I liked the aphorism, and wish I could edit my semi off topic comment above but I can not.

  6. As a professional designer I don't mind sharing my design secrets to enlighten others, including fellow designers. Other times, I just like to enlighten my husband...(no pun intended)

  7. Secrets aren't always revealed through words...at times, they speak in other enlightening ways. It isn't always only secrets that are revealing, however - much of what comprises the human condition isn't a secret, but is nonetheless enlightening in of itself. An interesting topic...

  8. You learn new things from the people you meet everyday. But now I find I learn much more from books.

  9. Hm. Interesting and true...I'm still young to enlightenment. Finally started paying attention.

  11. Very interesting, but my thought is yes and no on secrets. Yes, secrets can be enlightening when shared, but there are some things better kept to oneself, I think.

  12. Secrets are for keeping... lies are for tweeting -- well.
