This is a weeping song...

A line from a movie has been running though my head. "A little information is like a disease, it can not be cured and it is fatal. Because you can buy silence you can only rent it." It strikes at two things in my head. One I know some things I do not want to know, I cannot simply forget them nor ignore the fact I know them. If I tell anyone who would understand it would put him or her in the path of harm. In twisted voyeur style I get to sit and watch it happen. The second I am reasonably positive I said too much about a something else. A thing I do not want out in the open. This is not some embarrassing secret I don't want my Mother too know. It is something that would hurt people unnecessarily. In both these instances this information is like a disease. It has been said information is power. Power too help power hurt, power you cannot always control.
