How Secret Is a Secret?

How secret is a SECRET?

Generally, people have secrets that they keep for the longest time possible. Normally, we do that for some reason. From my own personal note, secrets are personal thus, we do not want others to know it. We have secrets that only we have access to it, we also have best friends' secrets and some other secrets with others.

Basically, we tend to unveil secrets for fun, as a revenge or even to gain sympathy from others. Some cause misunderstandings and worst case scenario, death.

Questions popped up in my mind. Like, until when one can keep a secret? How secret is a secret? I searched the internet to, in one way or another, answer my queries. I found nothing. "There should be an answer!", I said. Need to make one.

I come up with the idea to classify secret and in that way those questions will have its answers.

CLASSIFICATION OF SECRET

TOP SECRET- A secret governed by prominent entities such as, FBI,

NBI, CIA and the like. This may contain delicate pieces of information and should not be unveiled publicly for national security reason.

Example:

(Formerly a top secret)

The CIA's role in the study of UFOs

1947-1990

STANDING SECRET- A secret which has no plan of unveiling it, only to some selected few.

CRYPTIC SECRET- A secret that is difficult to understand because of its mystifying data. Some take it seriously for curiosity sake and some do not.

An INTERIM SECRET- A secret which waits for an exact time, place and person to be unveiled.

BARE SECRET- A secret that is intentionally kept that made it a secret. It can be discussed anytime, anywhere.

(All secrets will be made public in due time.)
