I saw two children whispering to each other yesterday. I asked what they were doing, and one of them told me that they are good friends and they are sharing a secret between them.
Do you think that in order for one to be classified as a good friend to another, one should be able to keep a secret? Explain your answer.

I think that it is very important that good friends should be able to share secrets with each other, because one of the most amazing things is that you know that you can tell them anything without them judging you in any way for the things that they have said to you. I know that there is no way that I would be in the place that I am at the moment without all of my friends who have been there for me in the past. I have always been able to go to them about things, just as they have always been able to come to me.

I don't think so. Good friend are different from having a best friend. Because you can have a lot of good friends even though you don't share your secrets with them. :)

I do not think that secrets for their intrinsic value is a problem. It is the unwarranted disclosure of the secrets, the motives associated with its disclosure, the timing of the disclosure, and the audience to whom the secrets are disclosed may become problematic to all involved.
Interestingly, while each individual may have a different approach to the notion of secrets, it is out of the difference of approaches come the enhancement of the diversity of life among humanbeings; who ultimately forms and dissolve friendships, based on how secrets are handled.
