Day 7 Ultimate Blogging Challenge
Oprah's 5th Question
A Deep, Dark—Shhh—Secret
The mystifying thing about secrets is that everyone around you has one, but you don't know what it is. What's the secret no one would suspect about you? And, as Martha Beck suggests, ask yourself, Does knowing this information make my inner life feel brighter or darker?
Now why would anyone want to tell a deep, dark secret? Aren't secrets meant to be silent companions?
Didn't we make a pact with our friends, with ourselves that we never would tell?
So why then would I reveal mine?
Instead I will ponder on my deep, dark secret quietly. On whether it makes my life feel brighter or darker. That's assuming of course that I have one! ;)

Whoever wishes to keep a secret must hide the fact that he possesses one.

We respect your decision, Suzy :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Shilpa :D <3
DeleteNever reveal secrets to anyone. If done so it no longer remains a secret.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly right Kalpana. What was Oprah thinking?
DeleteVery true!! If you don't reveal you have a secret no one will ever know and you won't be pestered about it!
ReplyDeleteExactly right Kathy. Clever girl.
DeleteHow smartly you've dodged the question! ;) But anyway, if the secrets are dark they better be out as quick as possible lest they color our hearts...if they are bright, they must be nurtured to bring about the inner beauty :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kajal And very true - keep not a dark secret or a bright one. Better still don't have any at all :D
DeleteI completely understand that you don't have a secret. Just like I have none. :p
ReplyDeleteJyothi you are a clever girl :)
DeleteAh! That was mysterious and alluring :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Me :)
Deletevery smart and clever Suzy ... I agree Secrets are meant to be kept secret...
ReplyDeleteThanks Shiva. Glad you agree with me.
DeleteThree can keep a secret if two of them are dead...Benjamin Franklin............... For some reason I am part of everyone's secret :D

oh lol good one Pheno. Let's hope that you keep them well then :D
DeleteI so agree and love the quote. If you have a secret, the worst way to let the cat out of the bag is to let people know you have one!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Michelle. Don't know what Oprah was thinking when she asked this question.
DeleteA secret is meant to be kept hidden. Very well written.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sulekha. Glad you liked my take on the question.
DeleteThanks Ashwini. Glad you agree with me. This was definitely a dud question! Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteOh yes some secrets should always be secrets :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nabanita - that's what I think too.
DeleteThis is truly top secret eh, Suzy? :)
ReplyDeleteIt sure is Corinne :D
