Do you think all skeletons in the closet are best left in the closet? Or do the skeletons have to come out of the closet and delt with in order to move on?

I don't worry about skeletons in my closet.  Not much for secrets.

It's the ones in the backyard I don't want the cops to find.

Most skeletons are probably best kept out of the light. Unless that closet gets too crowded, then it might become imperative to take out the trash (and rethink your life).

I think it depends on the skeleton. Somethings are best forgotten, others need to be dealt with. If that skeleton is causing someone continued pain, it needs to come out of the closet and dealt with so it can have a proper burial and everyone can move on.
