No, I don’t think I’d be shocked…those checkered pasts are most likely mirrors of their current lives, only better concealed and shielded by whoever and whatever they have in their pockets. While I certainly don’t think change is impossible, there are two quotes I rely on based on more than 50 years experience in the real world: Maya Angelos “When someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time" and “the leopard never changes spots”.
