The Power of Secrets

It’s a well known fact that secrets are power.  They can strengthen a bond by being entrusted to another.  They can manipulate by being dropped at an opportune time.  Often they are stored away, to be used as blackmail against someone, (Hoover of the F.B.I. being a classic example) in a time of need.  More often than not, they are held away in reserve to deny anyone else using them as a means to power.  Secrets are entirely different however than that which is not commonly held as general knowledge.  Such things as that, can be found whenever one looks for it.  Perhaps that is something that is not well known about me.  Things that are not readily known about me I seldom proffer unless asked for.  Those things might be confused as secrets.  What is truly secret remains just that.
