Honesty is a value lost in most of us. Honesty in what should have been revealed, however, takes qualification. If what should be revealed solves something, gives added benefit to most, then by all means reveal it and be relieved from keeping it.

Personal secrets do not need to be revealed if it does not help, however. They may be mistakes that are part of growing up. One writer wrote of being relieved after telling her secrets, which she said, made her a prison all her life.

Did you ever have a secret that you wanted to share with everyone? Imagine having a wee bit of knowledge about something but wanting to have proof before letting out your secret. Would it kill you?

Who is ModelMom? Well, I'm a Cuban-Hungarian mutt, born in Los Angeles but raised very non-LA. My childhood was typically dysfunctional although I came out of it with high morals and a pretty good value system. I went to college, graduated with a BA in English Lit with minors in Spanish and German. I got married, got divorced, started modeling, traveled the world. I lived in Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Italy, Austria, with stops in many other places in between, then off to Miami, Los Angeles and Portland. Got into a bizarre courtship with a photographer, broke up, traveled some more, met my husband, got married again , had a baby boy, and started blogging.

Social anthropology is the holistic study of humanity.
The deeper meanings in life are available to those with enough wherewithal to step outside dogma to look independently. This search should be encouraged, yet it should never be taught in an authoritarian manner. The search is of paramount importance, the opinions of others should be learned, yet these opinions should only be looked at as opinions for it is not the opinions that are dangerous it is when an authoritarian tells people that they are fools to look elsewhere that discouragement may set in.
