Went to a funeral today of a fellow member of U3A. He was a very private man, joined in various activities but always in the background. He never mentioned his home life at all.
What a relevation.. He spoke fluently 8 languages, had a first class honours degree in sciences. Worked on Concord, translated ancient French texts, was involved in architecture, kept a detailed diary for about 50 years, filed every bill, receipt and letter he had ever received. Was an extensive traveller, there was barely a country he hadn't visited.
Everyone who went today were gobsmacked.
So do not assume you know people!
Yes Mamya he could have been. If he had shared his life with people. He lived alone, lived his life alone. We knew nothing of his life. He wouldn't be brought out of his little world.
