We all have our secrets. We are forced to have our secrets.The reason being the hundred fingers that point at our generation. The fingers that point at us because of their archaic view of friendship, relationship and infatuation ( or what we like to call Love). I do not dispute the fact that Love at our age happens and yet at times it seems a little far fetched..What is it that leads us to in the name of privacy hide things that actually matter to us? i started writing this blog as a platform where i could question every norm of society freely..of the society to which we are bound not by choice but by birth.And yet i think twice before i type something down.
Being part of this very society i criticize so freely i realize that i am a repressed rebel by nature.i stand against all those things which cloud our thinking and judgement in the form of archaic thought. the crux of this article being secrets i revert back to my first question... Why is it that we have these secrets?
The first reason being that we fear and detest criticism of ourselves. We'd rather hide the very important emotion (all emotions are important) present in our lives than be told to overlook it or forget it. We fear the pointing fingers so much that at times we let go of something real ...a friend... an acquaintance and even an age old promise.
The second that we ourselves are not ready to accept what we believe and as a defense mechanism either repress it or form a reaction towards it. leading once more to the creation of secrets.
I would at one time hide the fact that i loved writing..it was due to a fear of being judged about what i wrote and accepting that criticism and judgement. this was one of my biggest secrets and this blog is as i said a platform for me to overcome that fear.
Secrets remain secrets only till we don't take a stand towards what we believe in.. secrets have caused misunderstandings and arguments among the best of friends and having first hand experience in situations arising from secrets i believe that one should treasure everything one holds in high regard and accept it with pride and confidence.
To reinforce what i believe i would like to end with a borrowed phrase ( everyone at LMC will know this one)

secrets are our largest weakness and to remain strong in the face of adversity..
