When Maya Angelou died lots of folks posted quotes from her on my Facebook page.  One of them I had not read before.  I wrote the quote down but cannot find it tonight.  However, it went something like this, "When someone tells you who he or she is, believe them."   I was not thinking of Maks when I wrote the quote down,  But it certainly applies.  This is a man who would have invited Meryl to come along solely for the reason that she was his best dance partner ever and the most amazing human being ever.  If she does not go, it will not be because Maks did not want to include her. We do not know, nor should we expect to know the circumstances.  He may not have had the option.  She may not have been available, etc., etc., etc., Charismatic men who do not have integrity are not men that moms and dads and exes like. 

I love lots of Maya Angelou's quotes, and my favorite is "When you know better, you do better"! I read all five of her autobiographical books, and when she said,"When someone tells you who he is, believe him" I think she was mainly thinking of a person with not so great qualities, such as "I am a jerk", etc. Could be wrong, but that is how I remember it. It's a great thought to always have in mind when getting to know someone, so you can be on guard.
