PRIDE:Conceit; justifiable self-respect; Haughty behavior'
Reader,
You may not initially view this topic as a social issue, but it is! Family secrets, shrouded by pride are the direct root of many family issues in the world. "Shhh! Be quiet, Don't tell anybody in the family what I said. Don't let them know what's going on." Then at the last minute everybody is devastated they they didn't' know and would have (perhaps) made different decisions regarding the matter in question and (and the people involved ) HAD THEY ONLY KNOWN! But hey! Who am I to say such a thing, right?
I'll tell you who I am. I am a family member! A FAMILY MEMBER who cares about her family.
A family member who WAS a family secret and now is expected to CONTINUE to keep secretes, that will inevitably frustrate and maybe even give way to resentment and guilt!
I am a family member who is expected to remain loyal to a family that has not yet decided to become the dominator over the power of keeping secrets. We have not yet learned that keeping many secret only makes matters worse. Some things may be justifiable not to mention, Especially when you weigh the pros and cons. but making decisions to keep secrets with out that weigh in cannot justify.
A family that is like your own. My family members affect many people around them, like any other family. How they react to things affects how the people around them react to things. Most of my family members, like your family, have mates and children. They also have children who have mates and THEY have children and on and on, it goes! So, ...what affects one family member, affects many, many more, including those outside of the family who are touched by the people inside of the family circle!
