Behind The Mask of Deception


Part #1

There are a lot of people who hide behind the mask of deception, some can be be good, like that of a business owner who wants to get to know their employees on a more personal level. Sometimes that can't be accomplished by being the boss, because people will often times be more reserved when interacting with authoritive people.

Then there are the ones who have the dark hidden motives, these are people who intend to do you harm. They pretend and hide behind many masks, depending what character they are playing. They will wear different masks, depending who they are wanting to deceive at the time.

Quite often the masks are very difficult to spot at first, because they have perfected their personalities over time and with much experience as they add to their skills of deception.

Some masks have a beautifu look, you fall for the mask, thinking the mask is real, that is your first mistake. They wear this mask as their foot in your door, that mask is their way in.

They are all human parasites, who will latch onto you and your life, because they want what you have and what you can give them, like leaches they get in the water that surrounds you.

They all have the same MO...Gender has no significance to the people with hidden motives, it can be played by both...

They all lead double lives, and quite often more than that. They are great collectors of people who give them the supply that they need, wether it be adoration, information, money or sex. Ore they want to get in with the crowd that you associate with.The masks are always worn for their gain. They do not care about any losses others may have.

They all believe that they are smarter, with a higher intellegence than others, that is because they have been able to decieve so many others over time, so they consider others as being the fools who have fallen victim to their scheemes of lies, masks and many deceptions.

They feel above the law and that they are the law. Doing as they please wether it be lawful or not. They have gotten away with a lot over time so they get bolder in what they do.

Some have other families even though you are their partner, or so you believe, It can happen without your discovery, and not be limited to just one. This scenario is mostly played by males becaus females show their pregnancies but females can do the same thing by pretending the child is yours.In either case sometimes the knowledge doesn't come to the opposite partner, or partners ever.

Some narcissists have psycopathic tendencies as well, these masks are worn by the ones called the Dark Triad. They have a side that you would never want to see, or be with in any scenerio. If you catch onto these ones and take action to leave the situation, it will sometimes be to your detriment. It could cost you your life. And I do not stress these words lightly.

I have seen behind the mask of this darkness, those are the eyes that I looked into, they became so dark, cold, without any human likeness. I saw total dark empty pools When I looked into those eyes of the monster sitting across from me at the table, it shook me to my very core. Those eyes told me what no one would want to hear It was only for a few short moments that felt like a lifetime, I would not want anyone to experience this vision , but I know that some have. After that eternal moment, of feeling like a deer in the headlights of an oncoming vehicle, the eyes became hooded, the monster was hiding behind another mask. but I knew that he was there, lurking, and that he was waiting for another time, because we were not alone. What I saw was a word that started with the letter D.
