Can We Really Trust The People We Know?

Yesterday, I had just came over across a video of an American talk show from 2007, known as "Larry King Live", and it was about the homicide of the wrestler Chris Benoit. I don't want to write about WWE Wrestling here and I do even think that this Larry King is a totally too old and boring talk show host. Anyway, the discussion between him, John Cena and Chris Jericho brought some horrible thoughts into my mind which we should ask ourselves with everybody we meet.

They said that Chris Benoit was not a man, from whom you would ever await expect that he would do such a massacre to his own himself and his family. Everybody just remembered him as one of the greatest guys they ever met. And now think about this, how can we be sure if we know somebody even for decades, if he/she is really the person we know for so long? It seems to me, that so many people are totally different, than what we think. Also if we see the history of other killers, neighbours and family members never find anything bad about them. They were always the good guys and nobody ever would be aware that they could do such things.

It scares me, because I already find it hard in my own life to trust somebody and even if somebody is always friendly to you, how can you know if he/she couldn't went become crazy one day and go postal?

Personally, I even think that I am erratic. I'm normally calm but I also can get very violent, especially in a verbal way. Due to the fact I even grew up with many video games, I think I even don't have any problems to shut down all my feelings and couldn't not be able to feel any remorse for what I'm doing. I know it sounds crazy, but I do not even trust myself. I know that I cannot always control myself, at least if the people get me crazy; although until today, I haven't done anything bad violently bad to anyone.

I also came up with the theory, that everyone of us is draws a line for others not to cross. Some have this line very low narrow and some have this very high wide. Due to the fact we are all humans, we all have this line. Whoever steps over this line is doomed. Some people get crazy very easily and with others you would need hours, until they get aggressive.

So can we trust anybody we meet in our life: even the ones we already have known for years, if not for decades? I'm worried when I'm thinking about this. Shall we maybe all just live for ourselves and trust no one? I don't think this can be a practical way, especially today where people are everywhere. Or are these just single exceptions? I cannot believe this either.

This world seems sometimes so dark to me.
