Sometimes it is good to be silent.
Pythagoras said "Be silent if you can't say anything better than silence"
And also, silence is appropriate when someone have had a pact of secrecy with you.
I think most of the times we can't keep a secret is because we are too trusting.
Mr.A will tell Mr.B not to tell anyone but since Mr.C is Mr.B's good buddy he tell Mr.C what Mr.A said not to tell ANYONE AT ALL.
So, that's how a secret is leaked out as Mr.C might have a close buddy too and in the end, the secret will be publicly acknowledge and it's too late to do anything to cover up anything.
Trust is not an easy thing to build between people and once you violate that trust, it might take a lot more time than you can ever imagine to rebuild it. It's a huge price to pay if you can't keep your mouth shut. I know, we would want to be trusted and gain trust from those we care...but how do you think others can trust you if you have a tendency to let a secret leak?
Seriously, if you are told something is a secret, keep it a secret by sealing your lips. Don't even bother to tell those who are close to you cause it will only invite trouble and predicament to those bounded to the secret.
I hope someday, I can gain back your complete trust. Maybe it will take time to rebuild it...I will be patient.
Without you trusting me, I doubt myself.
