When Secrets Are Divulged

Interesting. There are three hebrew words that contain the same letters מגילה גלימה לגימה

We all wear garments [glima] that hide our true selves. On Purim we drink alcohol [legima] which exposes [megilla] the greatness that reposes within each and every one of us.

The Gemara teaches "nichnas yayin yatza sod" - when the wine is ingested the secrets are revealed. Asked Rav Hutner zatza"l what are those secrets? He answered "v'amech koolam tzaddikim". On Purim it is revealed that we are all Righteous!!

A Frielichin Purim Tyere Zeesa Yidden!!!!

And what about גמילה, as in גמילת חסדים, can't we find something to do with the poor orphan? I'm sure a connection can be found.
