If you haven't heard of Post Secret it is a really interesting community art project that has become a national event. People create postcards and reveal a secret anonymously and send it off. The postcards are collected and published on a website and compiled into books. It's very interesting to peak into the secrets people keep from the frivolous to the very serious and realize how secrets effect our lives. It's also evident that setting the secret free is very liberating, as so many have sent these cards off into the unknown.
It's another place that you can go to see the similarities there are amongst all people. It also strikes me every time I read these posts that we never know what pain is behind the nasty teller at the bank or the guy who cuts you off on the freeway. Compassion towards others who are showing their ugly side is hard to give, but these cards remind me that their anger may be pain in disguise. If you wait long enough and have compassion everyone shows you their good side.

I forgot about Post Secrets, I used to read it every Monday morning at work, then my work blocked the website. I haven't checked it out in at least a year. Thanks for the reminder, it is interesting!
Glad to have reminded you. The author is coming here soon and we're going to see the post cards at a local art museum.
