"秘密とは、一度に一人に話すものだ。"
— Jerry Seinfeld
Simplified Meaning:
When you share something with the expectation that it stays private, passing it on one by one can quickly spread the information wider than intended. Imagine you tell a friend a private detail about your life and ask them to keep it a secret. However, your friend tells their friend, thinking it will stay between them. That second friend may do the same, and soon many people know what was supposed to be a secret. It's like if you have a piece of juicy gossip; even if you tell it to just one person, there's a good chance that person will share it with someone else, and the cycle continues. To truly keep a secret, it's best not to share it at all. If you must tell someone, choose very carefully and understand that each time you share, the risk of others finding out increases.
