>It's amazing how the majority of our history is downright whitewashed. The more you look into something, the more you see a completly different story.
No you don't.
People are complicated. Everyone thinks and says things they would never say to lots of other people. That does not make you a different person. It just makes you normal. Like everyone he could be angry, emotional, etc. But as long as you act consistently, you are what you do. The stupid shit you occasionally say in private does not make you "different".
I've deleted my post as it won't do anything except get downvotes, but I do agree with what you are saying.
I'd imagine that all great man have had a private life that's colorful, to say the least.
But at some point your personal and private conduct does being to reflect on your character, as true character is consistent (as you said), whether you're in front of a group of people or are in the bathroom by yourself. Otherwise, it's more of a persona than anything else.
