I have a variety of secrets in my head at any given moment...from work to friends confidences, even my own. Most of the "external" secrets were ones told to me directly, so it is easy to handle them. But what do you do when you discover something on accident? Do you comment to your friend or just keep it to yourself? What do you do if the secret is something that is potentially harmful to them - at least in your own mind - do you have an obligation as a friend to say something or should you respect their privacy?
I am conflicted on this topic for a variety of reasons. For those who read my blog (and I am not sure there are any) that I am kind of a Yoda to my friends. But Yoda was typically cryptic in his advice and that is not really my style. Then again, I am not the most willing to accept or appreciate people commenting on my life choices.
Maybe I should try a Golden Rule approach. Maybe I should just go on instinct of the moment, that always works...
