“The moment good taste knows itself, some of its goodness is lost.” – C.S. Lewis: Surprised by Joy
Socrates said “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Sartre and his buddies said there is no exit from society and one must be an authentic self.
I say: self disclosure is a dicey venture and I comfort myself with an easy excuse gathered from philosophers and sociologists: “I cannot be me without sharing who I am. After all, we ARE social animals.”
But I have discovered some things - the most profound moments - should be left in silence trusted only to the realms for sharing them erodes or erases their power.
