We all keep secrets. Secrets are kept secret because usually they have the power to hurt or injure someone. Maybe that someone is yourself. So you harbor the secret in a manner that suit your motives; you draw energy from it. You may be dying to share your secret, because all that energy you can't absorb all yourself, so you start to align accomplices whom you feel will guard and feed off the secret as you do. You tell the secret to one person; and he tells it to another, who in turns tells another... and so on and so forth. Soon the energy is being drawn from so many people that the secret no longer has the same value it had when it was your secret alone...
