Sometimes the person we think we know is not the person that is....and the consequences can be dire. Can we know? Then how can we know? "And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light." II Corinthians 11:14

in the quote by hesse, the two lives he is referring to is unclear. I think that to increase the complexity of your life is
not so much to embrace whatever elements of any other person that could be hidden character traits that would elicit patterned character response..
IE. if you were the devil, I would have to kill you. Or if you are a muslim, any marriage you may have with a christian would be an abomination. Etc.
Nope. I think the way we can go is to increase the level of complexity. Assume for the sake of an argument that your girlfriend is , first, someone you felll in love with then, second, in another life, say. the devil.
Ooh kay. So you've got a situation. And satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
Cor. 10:13
"...God is faithful and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."
Basically, so, like Job, you know? You have essentially won the lottery with that one. She's the devil. And now you have the job of dealing with the greatest temption anyone can deal with.
In the old markets, the vendors sold pots. And they would bring their best up to the market and say 'see how strong this pot is?'
and then take their cane and strike it as hard as they could.
This was to show anyone who was there, the strength of the build.
The pots that had a crack in them, they would hide in the back.
You, lady Sheridanne are one of the good ones. Trust me on this point.
If you were the devil yourself?

Or then, we might just discover why they call it grrrrrll
power too.
we know , because we all have really good bullshit detectors. But moreover. we mitigate the consequences because we have to.
stop and imagine the wonder of creation in a garden ..
god willing such beauty into the world.
the consequences for everything may be always dire if we are honest.
