DAY 2068: What does the phrase “Closed Door” mean to you? If there is such a situation, what’s behind the door? Why is it closed? Closed Door Closed doors suggests secrets, hidden agendas, and a line from a song by Charlie Rich "no one knows what goes on behind closed doors"3. Secrets and hidden agendas make me uncomfortable, because they suggest that someone--usually government officials--are attempting to conceal knowledge from individuals.

If the government or anyone is attempting to conceal knowledge from the citizens of a country, they are attempting to usurp the power that the citizens have. Knowledge gives people power over their own lives, without knowledge individuals are helpless pawns in the hands of the rich.
