Random Question

Does ANYBODY really keep secrets?  What constitutes keeping a secret?  Well, in my book - keeping a secret means NOT TELLING ANYONE.  At all.  Ever.

However, does anyone do this?  Is it ok to tell someone who is seemingly inconsequential?  For example, if I tell a non-work friend a work secret - does it matter?  Is that ok?  Does that make me still trustworthy?  Is this less harmless?  Granted, I can think of times I've been on the receiving end of such information from a close party about someone I hardly know, such as a coworker or a non-mutual friend.  I feel like there are some strangers out there I know some deeply personal information about.  And consequently, there might be strangers out there who know deeply personal things about me.

On the strict interpretation that keeping a secret means not telling anyone - does ANYONE out there do that?  I know that most people I know have told me something under the contingency of 'but you don't know this'.  In fact, I think all people I know have told me such a thing.  And I admit, at times, I have been guilty of the same.

I can also think of several times I have been told something, then asked not to repeat, to which I didn't necessarily agree.  Is this info fair game to repeat?

I am just wondering if there is anyone out there who has never ever let anything out of the vault.  Also, is keeping something completely and totally in the vault even a realistic expectation?
