daily word - implied confidences

Have you ever told anyone something in confidence? When you did, did you state clearly that it was to be held in confidence? Did you go further and insist on an affirmative promise before you told your secret? Have you had others impose such conditions on you? If you are an honest and trustworthy person, you should be able to figure out which things you are free to tell and which you are not, without being told or requiring a promise. Confidence can be implied. Some things are not yours to tell even if they are true. I want you to speak the truth in love, and the love consideration requires you to be silent with damaging information.
