Everyone has some form of secret that they don’t want people to know about. In fact, some people will safely carry theirs to the grave. But the more secretive something is, the more attention it attracts. People will want to know why something is being kept a secret and what they could benefit by knowing the secret.
Coca Cola Formula
The Coca Cola formula is probably one of the biggest secrets in the world right now. The formula is so secretive that the company had to cancel operations in India because the government demanded to know the ingredients of the drink. There are very few people who know the secret ingredient of Coca Cola who are alive today. In fact, even the employees working at the plant have no idea what the secret ingredient is. So much so that there are only two employees who are allowed to know the secret at any given time. These employees are forced to swear under oath that the secret will be guarded at whatever cost.
The Afterlife
The afterlife is a secret but yet not a secret. We all know that when we die we will either go down or up. We also know that heaven is where all the good people will end up while hell is where all the evil people will end up. As a matter of fact, we have heard stories of people who have actually gone to heaven and back down because of their bad deeds. They have narrated the stories back to us and we have been able to relate. What remains a secret is what exactly happens if heaven is actually a real place... I guess we will have to wait and see if there is really an after life after all...
U.S Medical Secrets
The medical secrets in the U.S are among the top secrets in the world. This is due to the fact that the Hippocratic Oath taken by doctors requires the doctors to treat the patients’ records with utmost confidentiality. This means the doctor should even be prepared to die just to protect the medical information of his/her patients. When the government was coming up with this law, the intention was to ensure the rights of the patients are protected by all means. The records of each patient is not to be disclosed unless the patient’s life is in danger or other people’s lives are in danger as well. For this reason, the medical secrets are some of the world’s most guarded secrets.
