--   Sshhh  Its a secret
Those three terrible words no one wants to hear  because it ties their hands unless theyre willing to betray a confidence

become a rat

--   Its four words really  One is a contraction

--   Which   suggests you might be someone who cant keep a secret

--   Cant

Why

--   Because youre equivocating  lawyering  Some things shouldnt be split by hairs                      

--   They should be black or white

thats youre premise

--   Premise

No                                                                                                                                               

Theres no premise to a secret
A secret is a secret is a secret

There is no wiggle room in a secret

--   And yet secrets are divulged revealed at every turn in our livesWould you agree

or disagree

--   I would agree secrets are exposed
but thats not to say that they ought to be

--   Then  what would you suggest  might impel those who do   who  expel a secret into the light of day

--   I couldnt say

I can say

I wouldnt

--   You wouldnt

--   I would not

--   Interesting

Would you care to know what I think  youve been so liberal with your thoughts

--   Im not sure I would care . . .
--   I would say                                                                                                                                      

if secrets were either black or white

they wouldnt be revealed 

However  I would go so far as to say that when something is tapped  a secret

those kinds of secrets are meant to hide  something  from someone

                                                

Or everyone

And likely they depend on people such as yourself to enable its secrecy

                                           

Its security

If a reason isnt offered for its secrecy

I would find it suspect                                                                                                                        

--   That is to say if someone were to take you into their confidence   you would defy it

--   If they want my confidence

they would have to be honest about their secret

--   Confidence

implies trust

--   I have to trust

what Im to confine                                                                                                                        

so Ill need reason

Otherwise they can tell  confide  in someone else

--

--   Do you really believe everything is black or white

--   Its simpler that way  

wouldnt you agree

--   I appreciate your idealism

Ideality

isnt reality

I think you know Ockhams Razor  plurality should not be posited without necessity

entities are not to be multiplied beyond necessity

Messy

I happen to be that thing which necessitates the plurality and multiplied entities

Without sufficient reason

nothing is secret 

Everything has gradients

                                          from the whitest black to the blackest white

--   Then

I dont appreciate your idealism
