When to tell and when to keep secrets

by Joanne Morrison

Created on: January 29, 2007   Last Updated: April 23, 2007

I feel as if I don't have the entire story. Or...maybe I have missed some important detailed provided? I get the instinctive suspicion that others know something that I don't. Worst even, I can't help myself from curiously wondering why they would decide for me . What makes them my protector? Better yet, Who do they think they are? They are definitely not more knowledgeable about me than I am! They most definitely do not have the knowledge to know what I truly can and cannot handle! I don't care if they have the claim based on a past incident. Especially if they are deciding on a past circumstance, then, I absolutely refuse to allow them the power to decide what to keep from me. Sure, The famous "I was protecting you" phrase is worthy enough. But, not more than once or twice.


Lets get down to the reality of this. Shall we? Its really so simple. As you create any diversion away from anything, you add on complications. Complications spread like an incurable disease. before you can figure out that you made a mistake, it is by far, too late. You will always be revealed. And don't believe that you will be understood. You deceived. You went against what you expect. Therefore you now will be a vindictive, deceitful, and untrustworthy individual who now is banned from someone you Love dearly. That is your consequence for protecting someone. It is your job to provide the same that you expect. Would you rather someone decide what you can and cannot handle? or...Would you rather have a confidant, A supportive and caring loved one that will be by your side to catch you if you fall? Would you rather be given the deserve confirmations of that you doubt? Or..would you rather be told what someone believes you need to hear? Truth? or...visaed?
Its simple
Consequence?
or
Compadre?
Your choice will hold only you responsible! or..Your choice will teach you your way..If someone decided for you, well, wouldn't you feel a bit cheated? Betrayed? Sad?
Give it a try.TRUTH is the way to be true to you as well as those you Love! Keep it simple!
Get it?
