Inescapable Logic

A tiger is a wild animal. A predator. It views the tiger-tamer as prey. It can't help that: it's just a tiger being a tiger. For years, underneath the Big Top, during every show, it salivates over that tiger-tamer.

The tiger-tamer knows the tiger is a tiger, a wild animal. So, it takes tremendous nerve for him to walk into that cage with the tiger. He has ways of keeping Tiger at bay. But he knows that, at any time, even after ten years of knowing Tiger, Tiger may just -- OUT OF THE BLUE -- let himself go and attack the tamer.

And when Tiger does this, he does it right in front of God and everybody.

Why doesn't he sneak around and try to kill the tiger-tamer on the sly so nobody knows what he did?

Stupid question, eh? Tiger sees no need to hide what he's doing, because he doesn't view it as wrong. Tiger is truly innocent of all wrongdoing.

Some insane people are like that.

But what about narcissists? Do they ever attack openly, where everyone can see what they're doing?

What does that mean?

Indeed, they act like angels in the light of day. The demon inside, Mr. Hyde, only comes out in the dark.

What does that mean?
