I've recently encountered a person who lives a completely different life from that which he shares with his family. It has caused me to question a lot of things about life, and people, honesty, trust, loyalty. I don't understand how some people can carry on as they do with seemingly no guilt or conscience for their behavior. I wonder what it must feel like for them to know that their family, the people that love them most, don't even really know who they are as a person. The person that he portrays to them, that they love, doesn't even really exist. It's a charade. I can't imagine how hurt his family would be if they were ever to find out the truth. I feel sorry for them, that they're forced to live this lie and don't even realize it.
It also brings up a lot of issues that I've always had with trusting people, and definitely makes me more apprehensive about meeting new people and letting my guard down long enough to be able to develop any kind of relationship with others. Needless to say, it has not been a good experience for me, but I'm trying really hard not to let it be a roadblock or deterrent in my own personal development and growth.
Granted I'm not a perfect person by any measure. And it's definitely not my place to judge others. In fact, it's not even any of my business what another person does. I'm just trying really hard to process what has happened and to hopefully learn from it so that I can make better decisions for myself in the future.
