^Thought for the day: I had to pause and think about this for a
moment. It really is true - secrecy SEEMS to bond people
together, but its very weak and very temporary - more secrets
have to piled on very quickly to maintain the bonds. Then
secrecy becomes a way of life - and someone who keeps secrets
with you, keeps secrets from you. (a culture of secrecy).
Subgroups of sub-secrets form, and those subgroups split off and
keep secrets from the subgroups and the main groups. Secrecy
acheives the opposite of its intentions - instead of increasing
power and control, it makes for a great weakness - a house of
cards built on a windy day. (actually, I liked the keyhole in
the eye - that's really why i reposted this, but I thought I'd
make it a 'food for thought" item instead of, "Ooh, look at the
keyhole - how symbolic!")^
