Secret Asian Man!
What do you guys think about secrets?
I mean having to keep secrets (your own and of other people) and what extent would you go to keeping them.
And what do you think about having to find out other peoples secrets?
I find it hard work.

Re: Secret Asian Man!
yes it can be - especially if you are not sure if you should keep them.
Saying that I have rarely been in a situation to keep any secrets and I suspect that they can be limiting.
Secret can be good, they can be bad (in them selves, and in the consequence of keeping them).
Depends on what they are and why you have them.
And then the question is over whether the secret is yours to tell or not.

Re: Secret Asian Man!
erm.I think ideally you should keep a secret unless you think the person could come to any potential harm.
But, yeah, it all depends on what the secret is, how close the person is to you....

Re: Secret Asian Man!
That is only if you things have purpose.
Can't things just be - pureposeless? rather, their purpose simply being "to be" instead of some larger goal of world domination or something?

Re: Secret Asian Man!
I actually meant keeping other peoples secrets.
Good... shows your trustworthy.
Bad... coz you might have to cover for them in the shape of lies.

Re: Secret Asian Man!
It all depends on whether its good for them or not.
and whether telling others would cause good or bad. and whether it affects you or not.
A fine balance would be needed.
Personally, I try to avoid being in positions of power, places where I can manipulate etc and secrets could lead to that.

Isn't there a Hadith saying that it's good to hide your brother's faults (within reason)?

Re: Secret Asian Man!
yes and God will hide yours.
