Post secret, for secrets

i found this site (post secret) really interesting. This is a amazing community tool. Instead of people having to give up their secrets privately they are encouraged to share said secrets with a huge volume of people in a completely anonymous way... how satisfying. i Went through a fair few of these, and was kind of amazed at the variety of secrets told. There were secrets on adultery, lies, sadness and truth among others. I found the simplest secrets fascinating. I can relate sometimes to things like this.



However, another part of me looked at this site and thought about the weakness in people this site encourages. People have an avenue to escape the reality of their problems and secrets... still that point of view is pretty heartless. Everyone has secrets and what better way to share them than splash them all over the web.
