“The more secrets you have, the less happy you’re going to be”
— Naval Ravikant
Simplified Meaning:
Keeping secrets can make people feel stressed and unhappy. When you hide things from others, it creates a burden because you constantly worry about someone finding out. Think about when you did something wrong and didn't tell anyone – it feels heavy and makes you anxious. If you keep many secrets, it’s like carrying many heavy bags; it becomes harder to feel relaxed and happy. Being open and honest can lighten this load and make your relationships better because you don't have to hide parts of your life. For example, if you lied to a friend, you might constantly fear they'll discover the truth, but if you tell them the truth, you can start to feel at ease again. So, sharing your thoughts and being truthful can lead to a happier and less stressful life.
