What secrets do you hold onto in life?

Hidden underneath the messages of the suspense thriller Trap is a fascinating consideration of secrets. At times, people may think that keeping secrets is critical in maintaining relationships, but what if those vital bits of information are detrimental to others?

This conundrum has tested the strength of human connections throughout the ages.

Physician Luke writes about this from one of Jesus’ teachings:‘Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.’

The Apostle Paul wrote,‘Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbour, for we are members one of another.’

The issue of secrets moves into grey areas at times and requires discernment on the importance of keeping someone’s confidence.

Yet, in the film Trap we can see that the message that secrets can kill.

The words of most wise teachers point to the value of transparency and truth—two solutions that truly build more robust relationships than any secret.
