Every man I ever met could have rightly been named 'Legion'. For we are many. Each character we keep—that we display as a single 'me', lives in his own compartment. The genius of the human brain is that all our member nations co-exist as a single functioning being.
And yet, we all judge everyone (everyone excepting ourselves of course) as if we are only one thing. As if we must only be one thing.
We are so surprised when the man who went to Church was a spy or the good wife and mother led a double life. We all lead double lives. Triple lives. Octuple lives. And we are far better off when we see and accept that in others as well as in ourselves.
The Hindu scriptures say, 'No good man is all good. No bad man all bad.' It's true. Look through all the compartments and then decide.
