Insignificant?
As time passes, the amount of information one may choose not to reveal will most likely accumulate. People will hide information from others, and prefer to take it to their graves because it will hurt either their own reputation, or someone else's reputation. However, there are cases where people unintentionally hide information. They do not intend to keep it a secret, but they do not feel it is significant to talk about that matter. As in my case, of adopting two dogs.
Due to the evolution of technology, people are able to access a variety of information within a short period of time. Nowadays, people even post their everyday lives on facebook allowing others to have real time data on what someone has been up to lately. However, I personally do not see the point of writing on facebook. Consequently, no one knows that I adopted two dogs five months ago. One of the dogs is a four month old male german shepherd, and the other is a five month old female golden retriever. As dog lovers will know, these dogs will grow to be bigger than an average male, and it will be extremely difficult to raise them in an apartment. Knowing this, I have already arranged to give the dogs to my friend who lives in a house with grass on March 14. Perhaps that is why I chose not to tell anybody that I am currently raising two dogs.
Lincoln Chafee once said, "In the world of diplomacy, some things are better left unsaid." Some tales are not told because it is a secret, others are not told because they did not feel the need to. Whatever the reason may be, some information to not be revealed. After all, wouldn't there be reason why that information was left unknown to others in the first place?
