Too much secrecy can be a bad thing but a little bit is necessary. For instance, there's no need for people to go to the bathroom in public places where everyone can see it. That may be a graphic comparison, but it gets the point across. I have a lot going on that most people don't know, and I wouldn't want them to. I'm not the type to go revealing things about myself to strangers or even friends because I don't trust anyone but myself. In a a perfect world, I'd like to see less secrecy than most people exhibit. I see a lot of people put on social faces and mime the views and attitudes of other people. I think the bottom line is that society has a long way to go before most people can afford to let their guards down and be who they really are at all times. Sadly enough, a certain amount of secrecy is necessary because a lot of people are judgemental or pounce on any perceived weakness.
