Paradoxes of life: The Secrecy of Secrets; Political Irony or Ironic Politics

Problems arise in so many circumstances involving revelation of secrets and invasion of privacy. Another perfect instance is concealing emotional distress and sinfulness. The question is: Can we really hide a secret? Have you heard a person telling you that you’re the only person who he confided his problem to? Asking you to observe the seal of confession and that what has been revealed to a close friend shall remain confidential between you and him?

Well, you can probably find the closest or truest friend who truly knows the essence of secrecy or confidentiality. You’re the luckiest person on earth for having them in your life.

The unsecured assurance: A waiver. Some businessmen, especially those who have secured the name of his future planned business, have to go to the registry or online for a NUANS search, which will give at least 3 or more potential business names to choose from as alternatives, pay and get the receipt as well as the certificate of registration so others can no longer take such a name for their own personal gain. Afterwards, the original idea or formula must also be brought to the intellectual property office to also obtain the intellectual property right of one’s invention. Coming next is the business operation that would entail workers for its propagation and implementation, and to ensure that no amount of information is going to leak in the public about the product’s exact formulation, a waiver must be prepared and signed as a secure legal protection. Well, in my previous editorial, I said that not everything legal is moral. It only means that not everybody who signed a sworn statement, a pledge of allegiance, and a waiver can always be trusted. There will always be a Judas who, in the long run, will betray you.

Some examples of a secret’s revelation are so funny. Look at the example above. It’s self-explanatory, right? This only means that the secret is conspicuously and evidently revealing. A saying goes: “You can run but you cannot hide forever.” Why? The objective truth cannot be hidden, not even in a split second. continued on page 7 ►
