Ambled to town to watch Madagascar with some friends. It's a funny show, with the right company I'd say it will be worth the price of the tickets paid. But not exactly a good idea to watch the show on your own alone.
Star Wars Episode III opened with the heightened fanfare and anticipation. After all, it'll probably be the last time a star wars movie is shown on big screen closing 28 years of history since the release of A New Hope back in 1977. Personally, I felt the best part of the show was at the end where they did the bridging to Episode IV (A New Hope). The soundtrack and the finality of the moment got me moved. Can't remember the last time I was ever that touched in a movie. I shan't reveal more as I understand that there are readers who did not watch the show and I'll just leave it up to them to discover it for themselves.
So onto the title, secrets. Had a little conversation with a friend online and was told that she had two blogs. My first thought, now why would anyone have two blogs? But of course, with some cow sense, that's quite explainable. So then I asked for the URL, you know, normal human curiousity: friend tells you that he/she has a blog (in this case two blogs), you would like to know the URL so you could read it. Then, I was told the other is a top secret blog which no one knows the URL because the stuff there is rather personal. So I'm like, right. Of course, everyone's entitled to their privacy, I'm cool. Then I thought, if there're things you don't want people to read, wouldn't you NOT even put it online/on paper at all? After all, unless technology improves, no one is able to extract information from your head without your knowledge. (There are exceptions to this case, but I'm just generalising here). Which leads to the question, why do people confide their secrets/inner-most thoughts/fetishes(!) to paper/blogs? Or even worse, to fellow humans! From observation, I find the best way to kill a secret is to tell someone 'Hey, I got a secret to share, but you must promise not to tell anyone...' Sounds familar? Been there, on the giving and receiving end.
Well, I'm not saying that my friend is weird/crazy or anything. But if you examine this from a purely logical perspective, then you have to admit that it isn't the best thing to do. After all, the internet is definitely not a safe place to keep secret stuffs. But as we all know, the human being is a strange and mysterious thing. Capable of the greatest good, and yet the utmost evil. Capable of startling insights, and yet the most atrocious mistakes.
There'll be a day when you will wish you had done little evil to do greater good.
