"GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST."
It's n thinp we all have to do at, times, hut most of us tend to do it too often.
It makes for weakness of character, you sec. There's something rather "flespicablo about people who can't keep anything to themselves. I once said to a friend:
"Have you an hour to spare? There's something I want to get off my chest." " Come in," she answered. " I seei£ to he an excellent dustbin, for so many people must get rid of their woes on me!"
Then, suddenly, I realised my .selfishness. I knew that my friend was one of those people who would never betray a secret. And, that being so, she was often used as what she called a dustbin —a receptacle into which we poured the ugly, worrying things that were hurting us.
