Read some of the screwtape letters today, and came across an interesting passage.

"He can be induced to live, as I have known many humans live, for quite long periods, two parallel lives; he will not only appear to be, but actually be, a different man in each of the circles he frequents. Failing this, there is a subtler and more entertaining method. He can be made to take a positive pleasure in the perception that the two sides of his life are inconsistent"

Is that me? If you know me in the slightest, you know that I tend to hang with a crapload of crowds, and in each case, I have no reason to abandon. But do I fall into this potential trap of living not just a double life, but a split personality of I don't know how many parts?
