A while ago a friend from Singapore informed me that he had found an interesting new site and he shared the link with me. I have found this site to be strikingly simple and powerful. It is built up by the contributions of regular people who want to tell secrets that are bearing heavy on their lives.
Some secrets are painful,some are funny,while others are utterly shocking. I know what secrets mean and I know what they can do to one’s sanity if they stay stored in a mental jar to rot, your mental jar would reek of constant fear and self-blame. Never communicating a guilty secret would torment one endlessly.
Gilbert Parker said: “In all secrets there is a kind of guilt, however beautiful or joyful they may be, or for what good end they may be set to serve. Secrecy means evasion, and evasion means a problem to the moral mind”
I find this site to be both amusing and true, to a certain degree I believe everyone has a secret stored somewhere. I recommend you visit the site and take a look at the secrets posted there. I have personally been impressed by people’s abilities to expose their secrets in so many creative ways,both verbally and visually. I have been touched by the sweet and I took a moment to suck in the unusual, only to conclude that we’re all variations of the same seed.
You beat me to it, I was going to post about this blog someday.
About one month back, it had:
“When I’m mad at him, I spit in his soup”
That’s an idea that needs occur to Nobody! Suddenly, I started to prefer making my own food.
And I can’t eat soup at restaurants anymore.
“If you know everything about everyone”
Can you imagine,,, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick…
Believe me, we don’t need that, you’ll be really disappointed, knowing some facts about friends and beloved will change your feeling….
Oh thanks God, there is secrets…
Samir,
The site does have some shockingly naked realities. I enjoy checking it from time to time, it always makes me think, it made me cry once.
Mahdy, I don’t think I want to know everything about everyone. The thing is, it is healthy to open up sometimes because if one doesn’t share a guilty secret then this person will probably suffer.
I actually considered posting one of my own secrets. A big one.
“actually considered” is different from “have submitted” :D
i would not consider submitting a secret, because after all its a secret!
posting it under annonymous identity or otherwise doesnt change the fact that it is a secret…..
besides how sure you can be of the annonymousity of internet posting?!
