I have become more cautious and intuitive as the years have gone by, as was certainly needed. Any how this friend, went to great lengths to fabricate a story of love and marriage proposal from a wonderful guy in a beautiful mountain setting on the previous weekend. I of course was happy for her. But come to find out, to my extreme horror, was a weekend of a brutal killing, dismemberment, and burning of evidence in the mountains. I was in complete shock as i saw the true story unfold on the news. I totally missed that signal if it was there. |
Alas, I am like you; it's very hard for me to see anyone in a bad light, and if I do I override it with a more positive light.
I suppose we instinctively put up a field and refuse to see any lies in a situation that may impact us emotionally; logically thinking, wouldn't this be a sort of biological 'safe' method of keeping us from extreme pain? And, of course, I think humans tend to see the rational and logical, and look for puzzles. If your friend never killed or dismembered someone before and you see the act as irrational and illogical, it would be more difficult for you to come up with that concept as opposed to seeing a complete stranger, who has no emotional affect on you, committing something much more common, such as a robbery or a normal, non-dismembered murder of another stranger of whom you have no idea whether or not they knew.
