After Hours

You never know who you really are until you are anonymous.

When I am out of town on business, I am anonymous after hours. If someone meets me, he or she does not know my personal life and its details. If I choose to go to a casino, it is between me and my conscience. Separated by many miles in a foreign town, I can easily keep secrets from my family and deceive them.

If you are living a lie, then you are an imposter. When we lie, we think we are invisible, or at least, we wish to be, but we are not. Eventually, the two selves collide like a cold and warm front, producing an emotional storm where everything is turned upside down. Ask Tiger Woods about this collision.

If the person you are when no one knows you is the same as the one who is everyone's friend, then you will always be at peace with yourself.
