How secretive should I be about my illness?
I think I'm becoming more and more careless in retaining my privacy.
I trust too easily.

I had carelessly posted this on my FB status
Later, I realised I left the readership as 'everyone'
Such posting inevitably invited more queries.
And again, I answered truthfully.

I was asked again in the staff lounge.
The colleague who asked was one whom I truly trust and admire.
I told her everything.
Only now I realised, there were other patrons in the lounge too.
Duh ! -ala Homer Simpson.

I sought counsel and comfort from an old friend.

"If lying is not your natural tendency, then learn to live with openness be prepared to deal with setback in terms, some people will shun you, but you should learn to accept that the choice is theirs and let them be, in the same time you will also learn how to deal with such people. After some time you will know how to calibrate your openness to people, while maintaining the general principle of being true to yourself."

She asked, "I noticed you're very active in FB lately, is that good?"

Honestly, I don't think so.
But I answered with the title of a Buddhist teaching I listened recently.
"Good , Bad, - who knows?"
