"Just how well do we know the person we think we know? How many times has a person you thought you knew surprised you by doing something you didn't think he or she was capable of doing? Each of us is guilty of acting differently around different people and in different situations. There are examples of this on the news all the time..."Oh, I would never have expected this of him!...He was always so quiet!" Our manner of speech, our actions, and even our jokes are determined by the situation we're in and the people we're around at any given time. Even those who claim to be "politically correct" chirp a different tune if they get angry, or behind closed doors! Taking all that into consideration, can we say for certain that we actually know anyone?"
The above was taken from "Curtis" by Ray Billingsley, a Sunday comic posted on March 18, 2007. Thought it was pretty deep and interesting to think about.
