The Purpose of Revelation
"The person who unveils a secret gains a measure of control over how
others see it. The partially shared secret mystifies and tantalizes; as
the revelation continues, the speaker establishes his identity in the
eyes of the listeners, coming to matter to them in a new way. He no
longer feels blurred and anonymous in their eyes; his life has taken on
meaning for them. He is set apart, unique through what he has revealed"
(Bok 84).
