What do I hide from myself ?
What thoughts do I censor ?
Why do I keep secrets from myself ?
"If I reveal myself I will not be understood," ?
"I will be unjustly criticized."?
" I will not be loved "?
What about privacy ?
Privacy is a ligitimate need of the soul. We all need privacy. Space. A thought, and idea , a work of art , something that you have created, may need to time to mature and complete itself for a while before it is ready to be shared and opened to others.
I read , that secrets , on the other hand always hide something negative otherwise they would not be kept secret.
Is it so ?
Why would you want to keep something hidden from others ?
A problem shared is a problem halved.
What if the secret is something good , something fantastic ?
What could that be ?
Say I found the secret of the meaning of life or the secret of being happy ?
There are secrets that are later revealed , in which case , they are not really secrets.
My mind wanders and I think of copywrites , I think of ownership, I think of patents.
People patent things , ideas, concepts, products and earn money.
Whose idea was it in the first place ?
Can you "own " ideas ?
Is it OK to steal ideas ?
Is it really stealing ?
Where do ideas come from ?
Creative people "steal" ideas all the time.
Hmmmmmmmm
Owning land is another concept I am not comfortble with .
Whose land is it in the first place?
There was a commercial on TV recently : buy a star for a loved one !
Hehe .. how can you buy a star ? How ridiculous ! Yet there must be people who do it. Commercials cost money , and they would not do it if there wasn't a demand .. amazing !
You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
