ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I believe everyone has a dark side within their being, whether or not they want to acknowledge or admit it. There are two faces that people see when they look at the person they think they know in relationships. Each one of us lives with a secret or hidden part of our personality in which we struggle to understand and want to conceal from other people.
Like the shadows of the dark figures in Plato’s “Allegory of The Cave” in The Republic, our thoughts, ideas, emotions, concepts, actions and behaviors provide us with indirect lighting – a superficial and often inaccurate understanding of our true self. We live with, and try to conceal, these distorted images of our inner personality. We justify our actions and behaviors. We create situations that violate our belief systems, values, morals and ethics.
.....
We are who we have become because of the many paths in our life. The experiences, events, challenges, opportunities and survival skills that mold our personality, morals, values and belief systems create and develop our personality, the person we are today.
For many of us, we are not the person people perceive us to be, even those who think they are close to us. We are mere reflections of images people have, view and believe that they see in us. We are distortions of what people think we are. And there are conflicts within every human heart, mind and soul.
