Worry about your character, not your reputation. Your character is who you are, your reputation is who people think you are.

A KEPT SECRET IS THE ONLY ONE WITH POWER.
I am going to let everyone in on a clue. A secret only has power over someone as long as it is not told. If you are using a secret someone does not want told to try to control them or make them pay for something they did to you, you need to remember one thing. IT ONLY HAS POWER IF NO ONE KNOWS IT! Once you tell this great secret it looses all its power. I will give you a purfact example. I do not use my first name. I have never liked it. Some people of low morals and not really great charactor found out what it is and they told everyone. Did it hurt at the time considering I trusted them both at one time.YES it did AT THE TIME. What one of them fails to realize is if you tell a secret over and over it loses all the power it had as a secret. In case you are all wondering my first name is BLANCHE, but you should also know I will not answer to it. If you want me to answer when you call you will use my middle name JANE. One of the people that told my first name over a year ago thinks it still has power over me. He thinks I will cry about it or he can get me upset to the point where I will act up and leave myself open for what he has planned. The thing is it no longer upsets me. I will not cry about it. The ironic thing is when I did cry about it it was not because someone used my name. I cried for the trust lost, because in them telling it when they knew I did not want it told they showed themselves to be not worthy of the trust I had previously given them. It is always sad when someone shows without a doubt they can not be trusted. So my friends you should always remember this. If you seek to use a secret as a wepon you must never tell it, or else it will lose all its power. Simply threaten to tell it and donot tell it, because the minute you tell a secret confided in you by one who thought you could be trusted you will prove yourself to be untrust worthy. That will do more damage to your own reputation then you could ever do to someone elses. especially when it is such a silly secret.
