Confession

Many people share their most suffering stories and steamiest secrets. Confession as I know is to tell someone about their deeds when they feel guilty about it and seeks for a forgiveness. It’s a realization after making a mistake. I don’t mean telling whole world about it and making a fool out of themselves and embarrassing him along with the one involved with him. Confession in a way is good and in other way may be bad. I find it quite awkward when people confess about things which make no sense. Just think - one make pranks on other, so he should confess to that particular person. What’s the sense to confessing to the whole world?
