"A man who tells another his secrets makes himself a slave"
I heard this quote today and it made me think. Who can you trust. The quote simply goes to say that when u tell ppl your biz they now have sunthin 2 hold over you head. Have you ever considered what you tell people when you are friends may be ammunition should sumthin go down. It is always the ones who you think never whoul... THAT DO. Its so sad to think that the civil war freed the slaves from the horrors of enslavement only for african americans to become slave of themselves. Some people are slave to people they trusted, some are slave to society the court system. In the year 2007 there are many times more slave than there were so many years ago..Think on it

“In the year 2007 there are many times more slave than there were so many years ago” – this I agree on 105%.
ReplyDeleteAs for this statement, “The quote simply goes to say that when u tell ppl your biz they now have sunthin 2 hold over you head.” – it takes risk. You have to have faith in people. All the more reason why one shud be honest in all you do. Thought, word and deed. We are human. We are inter-dependant social beings. You cannot keep things bottled up inside. There’s a Tswana-Sotho saying, “motho ke motho ka batho”. Loose translation, one’s character is groomed by others, how you break it down is entirely up to you.
So, my conclusion would be, if I tell your secrets, then I’m the slave and not you. you trusted me, and I betrayed your trust – gossip slave.
