Secrets

There is something about secrets that makes us curious, some sort of mystery, the knowledge that we can not know it or should not know it grabs our attention and soon we find ourselves taking peeks, attempting to uncover what we do not know. Peeks, at what is going on next door, disappointed although relieved to find it is just the TV not a domestic violence scene. Peeks at celebrities in magazines, trying to hide the normal parts of their lives. it can't be that hard to get attention when all we have to do is hide from it. There is a thriving market of the sneak preview, but does it go as far as people being able to sell us the stories of normal people, can they make money off us selling us each others lives (as facebook retains the rights to.) or would we grow bored of peeking at people we do not know, as many of us have grown bored with looking at what our friends allow us to, would we stop looking at their pictures the way we have done for the pictures of the parties we did not attend.
