Vague

I'll be blunt. I don't understand vague or secretive people. Even to the point that it kind of annoys me.

I couldn't figure out why. Why does anything annoy us? Surely there is a reason. And I think I've figured it out. Firstly, there is no reason to be secretive except to hide things. And hidden things scare me. They evoke distrust. Why would you not be 100% open about this or that? Something is wrong. Or even maybe I'm not good enough to be told the truth. The devil hides in the shadows. Bad things cannot be done in light. Why hide most anything?

Second, it's a WASTE! It's a shameful waste. We experience life and gain different perspectives and learn different things so we can share. What stands out to me in life will not stand out to someone else What someone else gains because of their experiences, I will not experience. The most efficient way then, to gain as much knowledge and become as wise as possible, is to share. Share your feelings. Share your insight. Share your tragedies, your triumphs, your experiences, your knowledge, observations...whatever! Share it! Or you may end up taking so much to your grave that could've helped someone else.

It's like someone who learns there is a mugger in the woods by spotting him/her. They do nothing and keep it to themselves. Someone else will come along and may not see that mugger and get mugged. What good it could've done them to know beforehand! Maybe the police would've been informed and they could have prevented the crime in the first place.

Don't hide things. Don't be vague for the sake of being vague. Don't lie.

And do share what you know! Share useful insights and experiences. Share your thoughts and feelings. Your life! It could possibly help or inspire someone else. You never know.
