Never do anything in secret or anything you would wish to hide.

For the desire to hide anything means that you are afraid and fear is a bad thing and unworthy of you.

Be Brave & all the rest will follow. If you are brave, you will not fear and will not do anything of which you are ashamed.

Privacy, of course, we may have and should have, but that is a very different thing from secery.
