I've figured it out.
What power is. It's not money, or seniority, or even
intelligence. It's a secret. If you have a secret that
someone is ashamed of, you can blackmail them, make them do
almost anything. With technology today, you can spread a secret
around the world in hours, maybe even minutes. Think what you
could do to a person. Torture. That's why I don't like
secrets. I dread the moments when a friend says "can I talk
to you in private?" because I know what they are about to
tell me is important, and that it could be something really
bothering them, that they have to tell
before it eats away at them, and pushes them down untill they are
broken. As soon as they tell me, BAM! It's out! I suddenly
have this magical power over them. I could merciless joke around,
make them dance and enjoy it. It's even worse when it's a
big secret. Then it just starts doing the same to
me as it was to them. Tearing me up into pieces. So I ask of you
this, one simple teenie tiny request.
NO MORE SECRETS.
As soon as you give someone your secret they have a power over
you remember. I'm not willing to hold that kind of
power.
