Keeping Other’s Secrets
Moreover, every individual is responsible for keeping the secrets of others. The criterion is a personal experiment: How devastated will you become when you entrust someone with a secret, and that person reveals the secret and makes it widespread? Such devastation happens to other people as well. So, if someone tells you a secret directly or someone else brought the secret to you through one or two intermediaries, you are to keep that secret and avoid spreading and retelling it to others. If someone tells you something which requires keeping and protection, refrain from telling others. Furthermore, if you presume the individual will be upset or hurt by his secret, it is upon your conscience and obligation to keep it.
