Have
you ever wondered
why
people hide their
dirty laundry
in the closet of your mind?
Somewhere deep inside, you may feel
honored when you are entrusted with
another's downside. What you
fail to realize is that
knowledge creates responsibility.
When you are asked to remain silent
about the secret or hidden acts of
another,
you are lured into collusion.
If people demand your
loyalty, presence or
participation in that which is
detrimental to them, you create a
detriment for yourself.
When
you abandon your
dreams, swallow your truth,
give the will of others precedence
over your own, you sell yourself
out. Be aware of the person
who asks you, "not to tell anyone"
the thing they cannot
keep to themselves. Be
responsible for yourself
and let them know.
