Please! I am truly unreliable as a keeper of secrets or discretions. I am like a relay station that comprehends or reads everything you say, think, behave, write, paint, photo, then passes it on to the world of things. I obey copyright law, but please mark a copyright notice where I can find/see it.
People recently have asked me to keep secrets for them. I am reneging. My full new policy is that I don't keep secrets except where national security warrants it. So don't ask me to ever again, or ever! I am not a priest, a doctor, a civil servant nor generally governed by the official secrets act.
Assume everyone in the world will read everything you reveal to me.
Don't confess to me, tell me nasty stuff about other people, speak ill of the dead, confabulate, ask me to sign confidentiality agreements, exercise drunken or addictive stinking thinking, lie, cheat, have marital indiscretions, blaspheme, boast, pick your nose or do anything about me that you don't want the world to know. If you are governed by any sort of laws keep to them if you don't want them spoken about. Don't appear in public where I can photograph you or write about you anything you do not want others to know or see.
This keeping secrets thing bothers me a lot, drives me crazier than a jackass. Produces dementia and guilty feelings. Is a source of much regret and sickness. It makes me ill and I know from PSYC 100 that it is almost always a sign of sick dementing or addictive behaviour on the part of the one requesting a secret be kept.
In Canada with family and the whole community there, I say up front that I do not keep secrets. If you tell me something, you might as well broadcast it to the world. I can not and will not be relied on to keep a secret. It goes against my grain and my adjusted philosophy. So be warned.
Think of me as the leakiest Lake in the world and any confidentialities you tell me, you might as well tell the world because that's the way I am and want to be. As much as I can I will be truthful and honest and hide nothing that I think my friends should know for any reason whatsoever, the slightest most minuscule reason in the world, one you haven't even thought of.
Don't associate with me if you have things to hide. I am a free flowing source of information, honestly gathered and spread around like manure, a true shit disturber, spreader and weakest link.
If you ask me whether I have revealed a secret that you have told me, I will try to be truthful and open to the best of my ability.
I am imperfect, make mistakes, and have all the male failings at multi tasking.
So be warned!
Blabber mouth, open book, publisher, broadcaster .....
Love in hope,

I think it is important to be frequently optimistic and thoughtful!

As put by Charles Darwin to Francis Galton: ' […] I have always maintained that, excepting fools, men did not differ much in intellect, only in zeal and hard work; I still think this an eminently important difference.'"
"Truth and reality, once told or experienced, is only a stranger before the first instance. One must learn to recognise one's ephemeral friends very soon. Some experience, sense and recognise both the truth and reality before it happens, while others never at all."
