why use "private:"?

I cant find any use for making class members private, it seems like a meaningless thing to do. Or there is a reason? Please tell me what it is

* Reduces error risk of code * Makes things easier to read (When something is private you know for a fact it is only something within the class) So it's essentially for maintainability and understandability. Really good analogy by the top comment here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24661886/reason-for-making-class-members-private As the guy from that link said, I always make things private (Only private) until I need to make it public or protected.
