Restoration – Samuel Pepys

Pepys’s diary is its revelation of “those very weaknesses and
idiosyncrasies that in our own case we would die rather than
reveal”.
Part 1. Do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Would you be
comfortable disclosing “weaknesses and idiosyncrasies”. Explain
your answer.
