All my life I've grown up reading and analyzing people sometimes i regret being able to do that and sometimes I find it a fun challenge. In this case I know bits and pieces of things I've found and that I've been told. It potentially hurts me knowing them and being unsure if I should share what I know. On one hand the people they affect deserve to know and the other could ruin friendships and personal views. I only follow what I see and what I see doesn't look good, but that doesn't mean what I see is completely right or even clear. I guess in a way I have no say in the matter and its not my business, but it hurts me too in the long run. Even if they are things in the past, knowing things about people can sometimes ruin their image forever. People can change and then again most people don't. I hate being the one to know things about people and not having the right to tell others the truth, some don't like the truth and say "That doesn't sound like them", "He/she would never do that", "Sometimes people make mistakes" and things like that, defending people that sometimes don't deserve defending. I believe in the fact people aren't perfect and that we make mistakes, but when these things are done on purpose and continue to happen I cringe and think that mercy can be too soft. The thing I hate most about being that person who knows certain things about people is when you try telling others for their own sake, their protection, or benefit, they can sometimes turn against you and turn others against you. Secrets suck, but I guess sometimes they're meant to stay secrets for the sake of everyone.
I guess if I told everyone I know about secrets that affect or include them in any way, I would be a very hated guy from those I told and those who found out, especially if people try confronting another to see if the secrets are true. "Louis said this...is it true you said/did that?" The secrets spill, some are revealed, some hidden with lies, and some turned further into a dark secret. Who has the right to say? I need to pray...
life,
secrets,
pain,
people
