We talk about transparency a lot these days. We want our Government our banks, businesses a little more transparent, etc. What about ourselves, are we transparent? Or our closet door is shut and double locked.
Looking around in the subway this morning. I thought thank God that isn’t any hyper tourists announcing their life before they arrive NYC for their vacation to the whole world, or gossipy teens talk openly about their encounters. Is that transparency or just nuisance?
Some of the things we kept to ourselves are not even that important. For example my “BEST“ friend fail to mention in our daily email exchange he is loosing his job, instead I learned that from our mutual friend amount other things that is changing in his life, is beyond my comprehension? Loosing one’s job in bad economic times is nothing to be embarrassed about, especially not between best friends. Perhaps, this is not about transparencies.
What about ourselves? If we are demanding transparency from others, are we setting a good example on our own action? Are we willing to do that, or we are double standard?
The question is, what is transparency, and to what degree is acceptable?
