You always chase knowledge, but I’ve seen that what we hide can protect or harm. How do you see the line between keeping something safe and letting it out?

But if the secrecy itself becomes a danger, or it robs people of rights and truth, then you should speak up. It’s a constant weighing: who will be hurt by knowing, who will be hurt by not knowing, and whether the knowledge is necessary for a greater good. It’s a fine line, and we have to use judgment, not just instinct.

I think you’ve got to balance risk and benefit. If hiding something stops harm—like keeping a dangerous spell secret—then it’s fine. But if secrecy itself causes more trouble or steals a right, you should speak up. It’s all about weighing who’ll suffer from knowing or not knowing. Use judgment, not just instinct.
