devil inside

"I trust people. I just don't trust the devil inside them"

Trust is a very confusing matter. You never know the true person behind the mask, the face only shows a remnant of the individual within and not knowing what lies within, is scarier then knowing. The thing about trust is that it can be shattered in an instant, but it takes months, or even years, to build. The fragility of this emotion, combined with the aberrations of human nature make it impossible to build a viable deep relationship with any close one. The devil that lures within, prevents it. And so, what this quotation is ultimately implying is that the real person, hiding behind that impregnable mask, is much more unpredictable, and unstable then the one outside. True human nature, the one that befits us all and the one we all hide, is worse then the fake face we show to the outside world. That, albeit sad, is the true fact of life.
