This house is certainly free of serial killers. Not good at acting, lying, etc. Maybe the cat is ... she does seem a little sly at times ...
Not sure as to the train of thought of the question, or the logic within...
This kind of thinking assumes that the individual is the point of reference of the whole. This kind of thinking is the main reason great empires (aka the United States) have such an ordeal within the United Nations, or in their international relations -they assume everybody else thinks/knows what they know, and that there is no other knowing beyond theirs.
There's a great book on the matter: The Little Prince. It relates with precious stories how does one dwell a lifetime in trying to know in order to acquire some sense of security and control.
I say do not buy fear. Why dwell on terror? Not to be oblivious on the fact that bad things might and do happen, but we have real problems in our daily to spend time trying to solve imaginary ones.
Live Love Laugh... and down with the serial killers, all dementors and toxic persons for any matter!
That is a very scary thought..We would hope we would know ..but you read everyday of another horrific incident..
I refuse to believe that wives of serial killers a totally clueless, people always give subconscious clues to what they are really like inside, others just have to know what to look for.
Some people have a spiritual sense can identify when something is wrong. It is a gift and nothing to do with how clever one is. These gifted people normally won't tell everyone because few people will believe them.
Most people only judge by outward appearance but what goes on behind closed doors is what really defines a person.
Apparently not always that well. Though I'd like to believe that I'd take a hint if my husband was a serial killer/murderer. But...that could be the beauty of ignorance, too.
We think we know them, but we may never TRULY know someone like they know themselves.
I think there are really only two outlooks you can apply to this. You either trust or you don't. If you spend your whole life being paranoid the person your with is cheating or not being honest you won't enjoy life at all.
But that is not to say you shouldn't be cautious when you first meet someone. I've been with my wife for 10 years and I'm not that old yet but I can honestly say that there is no doubt in my mind she would never cheat on me or I on her. That's just who we are as people and we both know that.
We don't know them well, all we know is what they choose to show. We trust them and hope that they're being honest and sincere, but when it comes down to it there is simply no way to know. Personally, if my husband were a serial killer, I think I would know that something was off, but I may not know if it was that he cheated on me or broke something in the house and didn't want to tell me.
If someone being a killer is the furthest thing from your mind, you're probably not going to recognize tell-tale signs. It's like people know how to identify a closet alcoholic only after they've lived with one, and eventually correctly identified them -- how many people have previous experience with a serial killer in the house so that they're able to identify another one?
Then again, if someone were a serial killer when you met them, then you probably wouldn't even notice something off about them, because that's just how they've always been...
Mcrawford76 wrote a series of articles about serial killers that were very informative for me. I found that almost all had above average intelligence, most bordering genius levels, and that most were so good at lying to people that everyone around them had any clue about their "other life" where they went out and killed people. Most are respected members of the community and those around them are visibly shocked when the truth is discovered.
Thats because some peoples spouses may have a split personality. They choose to show certain people their good side, and show others their bad side.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
