Publicizing old diaries and secrets???
An article in today’s newspaper said that somewhere in New York, some people are reading their old diaries and secrets out loud on the street. And the tend is now spreading to the West coast. I don’t know about you, but I will never be the one speaking my secrets. It’s not about violating our rights of privacy as the editor of the article believes. Secrets are considered secret for a reason. They are parts of us that we do not want others to know about. If we do, they are not secrets. I do not deny that it is an interesting practice and I would like to listen to others’ secrets. However, I will never read my old diaries and secrets out loud.

same here. i don’t think i can let out all my secrets. they’re secrets so they must be held private. that’s my opinion.

If one were to blog about his/her personal life, which may inculde details that seem “private” and considered as a secret, isn’t blogging somewhat similar to “Plublicizing diaries and secret”? I think the difference is that when we blog, we do not actually see people reading our “secrets” but if we were to read them out loud, we are able to how people react to our “secrets”. I think that is why we are not comfortable with “publicizing” our secrets.
Like what angelfabad:hellokitty.com mentioned, I also don’t think I can let out all my secrets. But if I’ve chosen to write down my feelings and “secrets” somewhere that other people can have access to, I am prepared to let such feelings and “secrets” be known to others. So in my opinion, sometimes, keeping such feelings and “secrets” to yourself, and not writing it anywhere may be the best way to ensure that they’re really private.
