Sometimes it’s best to keep secret what you really think about another person. At least if it’s negative. If you tell the other person this may hurt their feelings or cause conflict. If you like someone then it’s probably best to tell them but I guess it depends on the circumstances whether it would be appropriate.
Would you say that complete honesty is hurtful if it’s something negative, right? It’s tricky because sometimes we think it’s positive, but that other person takes it the wrong way…
I used to do suicide prevention talks in schools, and I would always tell them that one secret they should never keep is a friend being suicidal. Better an angry friend than a dead one. When there’s not a serious risk of harm, though, other peoples’ secrets are not ours to share.
Those that can solve crimes and help the families of victims come to peace with their losses. Those that can prevent anyone fro hurting themselves or others.
What I’m trying to ask is if secrets are worth keeping? If so, what secrets do we need to keep? I think that secrets can affect our mental health so I’m trying to see if some of them are more harmful than others for us.

Secrets ruin relationships, but I guess if this secret were to save lives then it would be worth keeping.

So on a micro scale secrets don’t worth keeping. But on a macro scale they do if it involves saving lives.

I feel that many secrets can be kept, but it’s worth noting that the truth always seems to come out one way or another.

What kinds of secrets are worth keeping? Those that can do undue harm. Or really none of the other person’s business.

That’s true. I guess that if we can spare others from useless pain, we can keep the secrets.

Awesome! So we need to keep the secrets that can hurt other people. What if those secrets can hurt us?
LikeLike
Generally they hurt us because we know we have a moral or ethical obligation to disclose it.
