Unchaining your thoughts

by Maarten Declercq on August 28, 2009

Having to keep your mouth shut about something and not talk about it or mention it to your peers can create a strangling effect on your thinking in the long run. It is quite normal to have your own secrets, that’s not what I am talking about. The difficulty lies not in keeping some trivial facts to yourself but lies rather in keeping stuff to yourself that can shake the ground of your peers. Mostly you’re very involved in these situations because you are for instance very excited about it.  Your involvement ensures that those yet unspoken thoughts come up your throat urging you to scream them out. The physical feeling of really having to swallow them down again is a reality. Also, on a mental stage, it really gets to you. These kind of knowledge is always in the back of your mind. It comes up playing in every situation you encounter. In the long run some situation will provoke a confession. It can be on an approprate time or premature. If it is already OK to talk about the issue no harm is done. If it is still premature make sure that you take the proper further steps.

Bottom line: Truth always finds a way out
