Shutting up.
16.6.06
Friend just left my house after having a good chat. Was telling him about something i've learnt this week, which we both agreed on; shutting up.

Its when you know something about someone, but you dont need to let that someone know that YOU know. Whats the point in letting the person know? Most often, it will just make the person be wary or feel akward that you know. Or, assume someone broke the trust between them by confiding that to you; nevermind that he didnt explicitly say NOT to tell anyone or the fact that it isnt a big deal or secret. Why the need to show that you KNOW? So you know, does that make you a better person or give you more control, an edge?

Or sharing about someone else to other people [ gossiping?]. My friend was relating about how sometimes when people are dissing or putting a particular person down, how when he knows something abt that person too..that the rest dont know and would probably go 'oOh' if they knew.. he feels its better to shut up. Honestly, what good is there in letting others know about that too? I guess it also depends on the issue at hand. Is wat you're about to say good, bad or just basic info. How u say it too.

So i know something about someone that you dont know about, does that make me better than you? does that mean im closer to that someone as compared to you?

When talking to people, you dont have to let them know you know. Its not having the feeling of contempt in letting the person think you dont know or conversely, feeling proud in showing that you DO know, its more a.. No need la. SHow for what? No need to show off. Nothing to show off.
