There\u2019s an old saying that if you\u2019re not where you want to be in your life\u2014or who\u2014you should \u201cfake it til you make it.\u201d And it can work great. For example, let\u2019s say you\u2019re terrified of public speaking. And inside you feel like you\u2019re about to either pee yourself, barf up everything you\u2019ve ever eaten, just turn around and flee, or possibly all three. But instead of letting the audience see your nerves, you straighten your shoulders and stride out to the podium in your best outfit, with a big, fake, confident smile on your face. Chances are, people will never know how scared you were, and you\u2019ll actually start to FEEL confident after a while. But\u2026what if you never get to the \u201ctil you make it\u201d part? What if the core of your being is so dark, so abhorrent, so contrary to everything that makes us truly human, that your only option is to fake it, all the time? I bet you\u2019d get real good at it. William Saroyan once wrote, \u201cIt takes a lot of rehearsing for a man to be himself.\u201d For the villain in this story, it was just the opposite. The rehearsal was all about hiding the self.
