Carl Jung said that we hide our real selves behind masks of geniality or toughness or bravado or aggression.
Some will even assume an appearance of evil.
The reason for this is fear learned in childhood and carried into adulthood.
So perhaps the people most difficult to deal with are the people who have been hurt the most.
Their real selves are buried deep within them.
They are protecting themselves - the hearts that have been broken.
But God can touch this self, this child, this soul.
God's love takes away our fear.
And we can live again.
