Should remain between the two, not people, but lips (the upper and the lower lip). Why should I expect a person to keep a secret for me after I myself failed to keep ‘my own secret’ to myself. Information that should be non of X’s business is your secret from ‘X’, because later when his bored tongue would want to share the taste of degrading anyone (and proving himself superior), he would disclose the secret and request the listeners to keep it secret from others…and so on. Your own secret would complete a cycle to reach you in an ugly form, because usually in discussions secrets of the absent people are enjoyed with spicy dirt, letting the delicious poison emit from the tongue and enter the heart through their curious ears.
The next time you see an irrelevant person being very kind, polite and giving you a feeling that there isn’t anyone more caring, insisting you to feel comfortable, and there is nothing wrong in sharing such information, asking you why are you so pensive and sad at times ? Is everything ok ? Will you mind sharing…
WARN yourself that even if you can’t put a fake smile to deceive them, change the topic becasue there is only ONE who understands you, HE keeps even your those secrets that are in HIS severe disobedience. He will not misunderstand/misjudge your intentions, HE will not embarrass/ridicule you by extracting pleasure out of your pain, HE doesn’t get tired of helping you even when you ignore Him and seek help from His enemies. He knows you inside out and has the ability to do anything, but unfortunately you don’t realize it…
Those who are not suppose to know, usually have long nails behind sympathetic smiles, which do help a lot in scratching the wounds that could have healed itself if left alone for sometime…
