Secret is like a padlock. It can be opened when the key is found.
Secrets don't live forever, though some survive for a long, long time. Every secret has the potential of destroying the dignity and safety of an individual or nation. It's the reason why some go a great length to protect and conceal it even at the expense of their lives.
Keeping secrets successfully requires courage and caution. Cowards can't keep secrets for long.
There are five conditions under which secrets may be exposed
1. By mistake.
2. Under duress
3. In pursuant of a higher cause or degraded one
4. By treachery
5. Through gross foolishness
Places where secrets are easily blown out
1. Drinking spots and pubs
2. In the company of women
3. In prison houses or jails
4. Court room
5. Bedroom
6. Dark and isolated places
Concealing a secret is usually easier than discovering it. Places where secrets are concealed
1. Books
2. Symbols
3. Churches and temples and mosques
4. In the dark
5. War torne zones
6. Cemetery
7. Military
8. Hospital
9. Court room
10. Police departments
11. All government offices
People you should never share your secrets with
1. The coward
2. The crooked
3. The vengeance seeker
4. The liar
5. The drunkard
6. The journalist
Secrets should be shared if the following modalities are the goals
1. To save life and property
2. To prove an innocent person Not guilty
Secrets should never be shared if the following modalities are the goals
1. To destroy life and property
2. To disrepute an innocent person
Always remember the golden rule, "Do unto others what you want others to do unto you"

That's exactly the point. Unless it is coded. Coded secrets are hard to break even if they are told.
