Omittance can be unknown and still be omittance.
Example:
When I was much younger I felt as if being the emotional being that I was was wrong. I was told constantly that men don't have emotions. Men don't cry. Grow up et cetera. I chose to bury that piece of myself. To omit it. I made a conscious choice to deny I was an emotional creature to attempt to conform to the ideals many deemed I should have as a man.
Fast forward to my relationships 10 years later, 20 years later. I no longer was making a conscious choice to omit........it had become a trauma response. It was as natural as breathing to me to state, "Hey, I'm not overly emotional." When really, the truth was quite opposite and if anyone hung around me long enough they would discover the honesty quite easily.
Was my omission a trauma related result of my past? One could say so.........but one could also say and be just as valid that I was omitting a piece of myself that was honest intentionally as a way to hide or run from the truth because it was uncomfortable for me.
What is the truth?
For ME, the truth is that I was uncomfortable being myself. Triggers or not my emotions were a valid piece of me and running from the reality made that no less honest.
Now, the question is, how many of us do this in miniscule ways that we may not even be aware of?
If omission is a PURPOSEFUL and INTENTIONAL choice to keep a piece of ourselves, a truth, a piece of the facts et cetera from others for ANY reason aren't we ALL guilty of doing so on some level?
How many of us are guilty of not speaking up when we should have?
How many of us have been afraid to tell the truth to a friend because we were afraid of hurting their feelings or upsetting them?
How many disagree with someone in principle but lack the conviction or moxy to tell them?
Is it omission or compassion?
I can't answer it myself. Maybe someone wiser can.
Personally, I don't believe in omission at ALL. Mostly because I have omitted in my past and have harmed myself and others terribly in doing so and therefore choose to be intentional with what I share and express as a transparent piece of me.
I will say this, in order to omit something that would matter to another, one must be in a place with someone else that they are trusted, respected, believed. Omission THEN can be a real and violent act as you betray every one of the principles that the other person has extended to you.
However, it is NOT omission when someone else has not extended trust, doesn't hold respect or belief in you. When they are a simple stranger you owe nothing in the way of transparency to another.
Example:
I don't tell the cashier I flogged my submissive last night and bruised her good.
Am I omitting? NO. They neither asked nor are given that information even if they did ask what I did last night. Because I am not indebted to being transparent with someone I cannot trust in principle with information I do not know they can handle. I consider this a boundary. NOT OMISSION.
Omission, to ME, comes down to having something actually invested and worth being omitted. Meaning, in a relationship/friendship trust is a living breathing, growing earned space. As you stated, within the context of a court of law agreeing to speak the truth. In this lifestyle, committing to building trust across the board as a foundational piece within the context of a given dynamic to omit is to erode or detonate building that trust. The same is said to be true within the context of any relationship where TRUST becomes a needed piece to continue the relationship. The court of law is asking for no less. Do you agree to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Meaning, can we trust you? If we cannot you will be held liable for your omittance of the truth because you can't be trusted to speak the truth. ANY relationship that requires, or uses trust in its existence MUST hold to no omittance or the relationship can NOT be viable.
