I was just reading about the Craigslist killer and he seemed perfect. I read the book "People of the Lie" a few years ago, and the author says that most often, truly evil people are the ones you would least suspect of being so. They make every effort to look perfect (physically and in every other respect- they try to have perfect careers, beautiful houses, perfect kids- nice, neat lives...) but in real life, they are evil.
FOR EXAMPLE- I once knew this girl who was obsessive about having the perfect body, the perfect designer clothes, a perfectly decorated house, a perfect marriage to her handsome husband, perfect kids, etc. Oh, and she would go on and on about the lord and how she prays to the point of transcendence, and so forth.
SO then, her"perfect" and charming husband cheats on her and leaves her and she then shows me her baby daughter's death certificate that said that the baby's cause of death was from complications of past child abuse, and tells me that her husband shook the baby, cracked her ribs and dislocated her shoulder when she was 2 weeks old. He was tried and convicted of child abuse and was serving his sentence when the baby died. The DA never pursued murder charges.
My point is, she took him back, had another kid, and even later told me that she had aided in his defense at the trial. But she didn't think that all that was important until he cheated on her and left her. Oh and then it didn't matter again once they reconciled again. They just went right back to their "cookie cutter" life.
Sick, right?
That's why I'm suspicious of people who make out like their lives are so perfect and that they are so perfect.
Have you ever known anybody like that?
