One Question and One Response

If they were to ask, "Can you keep a secret?" And you replied with "My lips are sealed." "How would you know what the secret was that you were asked to keep and why was it necessary to keep such a secret as this?"

Some secrets are best not kept depending on who would want you to keep a secret and why this person confronts you to keep their secret. It may be best to first find out if the secret they wish for you to keep is actually a secret that is best never known or spoken of before you rapidly say, "My lips are sealed."

It is possible that there is a catch attached to your keeping your lips sealed when you quickly responded as you did, yet you do this more out of not thinking this secret thoroughly through, completely. You may wish you had asked beforehand what is was that they were wishing you to keep to yourself.

"If the moment was a coverup concerning a secret that was meant to be kept and that means from you as well, then it may be that important to keep it or else." If you were to literally seal your lips, this would require your using super glue that would seal them in a reality sense and not metaphorically either."

Your being willing to risk life and limb just to please someone else that you may or may not know well, to state, "My lips are sealed." It is with this very response that may get you in more trouble with them and anyone else aware of this unwritten contract and the consequences involved with your response to keep their secret.

If their secret involves anything illegal or unorthodox, then you may have to decide between keeping the said secret or either contacting whomever you may need to inform of such an agreement, were you could be found in contempt, in court, by a judge, who can place you in jail for a while, a long while, for not sharing anything about anyone.

Not deciding to violate the trust between the asker and you the responder, means you both have asked the other if you would keep a secret, and if they would notice that you will keep, "My lips are sealed."

How so old school we are in believing that today all people are found to have good in them and all people are honest. Yes, there may be a few good trusting people left, but they are literally on out the door because they are part of a whole generation and era of history.

It is with much thinking that you are not able to keep this person's secret, which is like money burning a huge hole in your front pocket, wanting to spend it as quickly as you can, and not remain broke. This is the most annoying thing where you are asked either, "Please stand closer to the group of people." OR "Please remove yourself out of the line of this shot."

Either way those who would ask of you about doing something that I am able to, does not mean I actually want to do that in either spare time or my free time either.

It can become stressful, when asked to do one thing all over the place and the area you had intended for painting is no longer seen except under 3 feet of water. "Why?" Because you want to believe you can keep the secret, and hold out for a long, long time. Or you might want to make your end-of-life arrangements ahead of time too.

Mind you, if this was me being asked such a huge request and by someone, I consider a true friend, then I am going to get the 3 thumbs up before proceeding forward.

Then there are the trust issues and the making the question sounds sincere for sure and the time you are using to seal the deal, with both parties submitting to a handshake and hope this will suffice.

It is after you are complaining to whoever will listen, whoever will not judge me for wanting to do this and carrying out that very thing I am needing to be keep secret and then making sure that I do not get into any sort of trouble.

The decision to keep one's secret for another special outsider's voice, took a lot of planning and praying for, to be sure to repeat what was asked of me nor share what I said in reply.

Secrets are considered if there is no other way to make one understand what the first party is wanting you to know about said secret, whether in part or in full. What shall be shared if asked and how long before you are asked to share what was asked of you not to share.

So many questions. So many answers. No uncertain responses and not sometimes things are placed before one person in hopes that you will be found to be more trustworthy and reliable, along with being a person of your word and one who can be considered to do the same when the next person is asked to do this and they honor their word or bond without hesitation or doubt.

Of course, there will come a time when you can at least turn down the same said person, when asked, "Can you keep a secret?" because if they already knew that about you, then why would they have to ask you again, unless they are shy and reserved.

It should give you a sense of relief if at first, they ask you, then before they need to, then decide to go find and bring back the one who will do to my fruit so that they can be used immediately. I mean "No Time like the Present."

To place oneself in a deal that is unbreakable and non-negotiable from the moment you both agree, and you shake, then be prepared to properly keep it and for other special occasions. To show others you can do this and succeed too in all things you do or think or say to you about keeping a secret.....Think about it. It is the first actual three words you are spoken to about with a very low self-esteem if you fail even only a little.

The deal to keep a secret in the bathroom, with a sigh of relief and just enjoying the time by making it speed by faster and with a signed agreement will be the starting to work on anything you want to do in the present and in the not so near future.

Watch out before it's too late!!!!!!!
