can you keep a secret?

are we human because we can keep secrets? Is that one of the characteristics that defines humanity?
Everybody has secrets and everybody lives in fear of certain people or people in general finding out certain secrets. and then there are other secrets that we long for people to know, but don't have the nerve to save out loud.

What would humanity be like if we didn't have secrets? If we were physically not able to have secrets? Would we lose part of our humanity? Would society become a dull place?

Our lives are based around secrets - secrets that we keep for others, secrets that we have about ourselves that we keep from the world, and sometimes even from ourselves.

But why?

Why are secrets so necessary to our existence?
