How do you keep your privacy? I don't like all this stuff where people are putting out all your information for the public to see. It's not a matter of having nothing to hide, its a matter of protecting your privacy from people who would do harm with the information. The problem is, most adults don't even know their limitations, how can know their limits? Do you worry about your who go on line and play games and they are talking to on the internet? Your thoughts please?

Yes you're right, losing privacy is a risk I take when I write stuff online. There are ways not to lose private details such as not to give away specific information that would reveal other personal private data. You shouldn't have to worry about kids going online. Just keep them under an adult's supervision and put filter on their internet viewing and give them advice on what not to say, write or what not to do whilst on the internet.  How are you?    within each one of us, and let it begin with me (and each one of us)..one breath at a time.

From the very beginning of the human being existence, we continue to fascinate each other of the sort of incredible creature that God has created us to be. Aren't like any species of animals on earth, which are also God's creation, we have the ability to do almost anything, communications, technology, mass destruction, global warming, etc. Anything of our desires, as though we are the kings and queens of all the food chains. But as we are thinking that we are invincible, apparently we can also be as vulnerable. All it takes is just by revealing one's little secret, he or she can be crushed with a fist, just like that. Well, of course, this is not just another Sue Ann's nonsensical theory. After all one's needs proof to convince the other, and there are no better way to prove it by looking at the human being's history.

n China, there are old sayings such as "keep your allies close, but your enemy closer," and "know your enemy like you know yourself." These were among the famous Chinese War strategies that helped to win many tough fights (more history of the power of secrecy.) A secret to a person is just like the kryptonite to Superman. In fact, as Superman's fan, you should know that kryptonite is the only effective way for the enemy to take the big boy with the red underwear down to his knees; besides Lois Lane, of course.

So now that you get the idea of the intimacy of secrets in human beings' lives, here is another piece of information for you. The truth is, the secret is not really a secret after all. Let me make this clearer; there are really no secrets in a human being's life. If one would have to scrutinize a bit closer or paying more attention to one another, there is really nothing that we can hide. Allow me to give you some examples.

Let's say a secret recipe of a dish that lured the people to streaming into the restaurant from the daylights to nightfalls. If one would have to pay a little bit of attention, it could be nothing extraordinary than the charming and cheerful waiters and waitresses that the restaurant happen to have. The chef in the kitchen can easily missed out the salt or pepper, but the customers might not noticed the taste but the warmth and dazzling smiles that hang on the waiters or the waitresses faces whenever they serve up the foods. Some people tend to subconsciously speak out their secrets through their actions. Lisa and I has been friend for a very long time, but we somehow stopped contacting each other

for a very long time. Occasionally, she would pop out from the middle of nowhere, and usually for special occasions, such as her first steady boyfriend and then their marriage a few years later. Then another year past by, again she appeared. Out of courtesy, I asked about her new marriage life. "I am not happy," she stopped curtly. As I tried to probe more, "It's okay, if one chose not to complain about it," and that's was as far as I could bring the conversation. A few days later, we went out for a small gathering, over the desserts, I realized her non-stop conversation about this particular guy that she had lost touch of over the years and finally met again a couple of months back. My suspicion was confirmed when she finally admitted her affair with this guy.

Lisa is just one of the classic examples of the way the human beings anxiety spilled out unintentionally through their actions, whether it is because of the guilt or excitement, that are of course another story all together. Through their own defined perceptions, the secret started to weight down on them, until the point that they can hardly function well physically and emotionally. There are also people that just refuse to carry the weight at all. Amy is another friend of mine. We met each other during college. A couple of years after graduation, we had finally come together again to further our studies in Master degree in the same college. It was during then that she finally met someone and fall in love.

Their love story is never a secret to everyone that she knows. It was like CNN or BBC channels reporting about Obama's campaigns. Every details of the relationship, the conversations and fights would be reported again and again, in English (for the English speaking friends,) Mandarin and Malay (all for the same reason.) As for those who can understand all the three languages, someone like me, would have the chance to listen to the same news for at least three times in a day. I bet even the CNN or BBC would not be able to beat such frequency.

Having secrets or not, people justify their secrecy with many reasons. In the name of religion, women would have to cover their heads to toes, for the sake of the secret of intimacy between her and her husband. In the name of culture, some would keep their lives behind the closed door; some disturbing and sad examples are the domestic violence and child abuses. I personally have a firm skeptical standpoint of this concept of 'secrecy'. I often wonder, does the

concept of secret ever exist in this human's world? Can a secret consider as a secret, if he or she reveals it someone else? As a matter of fact, isn't this how the concept of 'gossiping' emerged? It is something about the nature of secrecy that often makes it so tempting and seductive to a person. Yet another famous saying, curiosity can kill the cat. To gossip about a secret is at all time the juiciest gossips one is dying to get. I mean who wants to know Britney's Spear singing career, if one can find out about what is she doing with her ex-husband behind those closed doors of their house?

It suddenly hit me; there is a short story written by Robert Raymer about gossiping among the neighbors in Malaysia. With words, Raymer has painted so vividly in the readers minds the scenarios of a group of neighbours, gossiping about something that they are not supposed to tell anyone - secrets of others. Same scenarios can still be found in especially in the early noon, when all the elderly, retirees and housewives can finally sit down in their favorite coffee shops, making friends through gossiping. Those few hours, the coffee shops would turn into an info zone about the newcomers, somebody else's daughters, sons or in-laws. The news can spread so rapidly and efficiently that even politicians would take advantages to mingle with them, just to spread their ideas and propaganda, especially before the elections. But remember, it supposed to be a secret. After all and all, one conclusion that I cam safely drawn here is that: no human being can live without secret, although it is the secrets that make them vulnerable.
