What's It Like To Be Me?

If you have ever wondered what it is like to be a notorious «serial killer», like me, then let me tell you. It is nothing like anything you can imagine; unless you can imagine what it's like to be a teacher's aide, or industrial consultant, or a drag queen, or a computer programmer/research assistant, or college graduate with numerous academic honors, or even a boy scout. I can tell you it's a lot like being all of these because I have been all of them and much more: a loving son, a caring pet owner, a loyal brother, etc.

Basically, as I have been trying to say all along with this blog, being a «serial killer» or a «sex offender» or even just a «criminal» is just another way to be a human being. We really are more alike than we are different; a lot more than you can imagine, unless you can imagine what it's like to be you!

I can.

Because I am you!

That is essentially the very truth that I realized when I stopped being a «serial killer» and became a fully realized human being for the first time since I was a very young child. It is the truth that Jesus tried to teach, and the truth that will save this world some day. At least, that's what I believe.

I am you, and you are me. So, if you really want to know what it's like to be a «serial killer» you have only to know what it's like to be yourself. Unfortunately, that is something few people ever get to remember.
