whats your secret?

People are diverse and different in so many ways. Everyday we generally have contact with people who we are used to and some not so used to, but how much do we really know about the people around us. How much is there really to know about someone, anyone? Can you really know a person as much as you think there is to know about somebody?

People are complex, and have cognitive minds. We think and make decisions based on what we know and how we process information we receive. We learn from a young age not to generally speak of everything that comes to mind as it does not always fit the moment. We all know that children with their naive minds can at times say the most embarrassing things with total innocence, but we learn better of this as we get older, we learn to keep thoughts in our minds until they are of use to us.

Some of these thoughts are mostly secrets, such as things we learn of when we not supposed to, our passwords, information that would be detrimental if let out. I think that these types of 'secrets' are found in every single person, and is a natural way for a persons self preservation. For example: We wouldn't let out a secret about ourselves, such as a seeing deficiency or if it would hinder us from gaining an advantage of owning a certain kind of car perhaps.

People, do however, let out secrets about themselves and about the way they feel with certain other people. These people are mostly people they trust with the information, to not hurt them, or perhaps serve justice or even like for a loved one to share the secret in itself.

People are complex and deep, sometimes without their own understanding. We can however learn the most of this kind of thing by introspection. We can look carefully towards ourselves and have some sort of understanding to what we can appreciate about someone. People who have a simple outlook to life and are generally happy about staying just how they are, might have been through plenty rough times to be satisfied with how they are.

Getting to know people, we need to realize that everyone has things that they don't share with you at the beginning, yet this does change with trust and time. People minds adapt based on their ideals and wants. All people are generally selfish, and thus have goal they pursue which are mostly for self gain/progress. The meaningful bit about people, is when they feel that they can share their 'secrets' about their dreams and aspirations.

People are of a complex design, and there is much to understand about ourselves, characteristics and appreciate everyone without making a wrong impression. I personally like complex people who have lots to share over time, and discovering the details about a person make it all the more interesting.

Discover yourself, as you are the one person you can be the most honest with, then you would appreciate other people all the more. :-)
