I think that at certain moments in life they will question more than once how the dual role of the public and the private can be exercised without constantly engaging in distortions, identity problems or simple reactions.
Normally, any of us have the subtle privilege of experiencing different roles in their bodies, which they combine and practice in the best possible way, depending on how they know, do, or are allowed to do. We play a professional role, a social role, a family role, and we channel it all with complete dignity and without too much risk or embarrassment because deep down we can handle them more or less well.
Another different thing is when we are removed from our usual cast of roles and, without further ado, have to face a new one that is not even remotely on our horizon, but due to the imperatives of certain scenarios, we have to. interpret.
For public figures, the reality of their lives takes a very different turn. On the outside, they are people who live outwardly, which gives them an image of imposing performing arts and representing the stages, but above all, making them so vulnerable to public opinion that no one knows where they come from. , but it is constantly on the alert with every step they can take.
Probably one of the biggest challenges for them is reconciling a public statement with corresponding integrity with what actually happened, was thought, or was going to be done. With the “healthy” intent of leaders big and small to negotiate the truth like true jugglers and persuade others of their gift of power, hard work and good deeds, it falls into the crossfire unless someone is himself along the way.
As always, in these times of modernity, the technological media are playing in favor of bringing many of these games, sometimes informally, and some deliberately. In fact, it has become a hot topic for a hidden microphone to remain open and reproduce the words of someone who has just spoken or will speak, leaving it as clear evidence.
When it is not a minor slip but a punishable act that was filmed with a hidden camera or recorded with a camouflaged microphone, things change dramatically because there is no possibility of rescuing them and they are on trial by humans for the first time. and then even though they are by the courts of justice, between one and the other, in the end nothing happens.
