The opposite of love
This is the profile of a man who lives by a governing philosophy of force.
Joseph Fritzl: a shrewd liar and an obsessive tyrant
"Casual acquaintances knew Josef Fritzl as a jovial fellow who liked to drink beer and enjoyed a bawdy joke.
But former neighbors say the man accused of imprisoning his daughter and fathering her seven children ran his household like a dictator. Piece by piece, a picture is emerging of a shrewd liar and an obsessive tyrant.
'At home, he was clearly the lord of the manor. Even at his campground, he was very strict and his rules had to be followed,' said Anton Graf, who rented Fritzl land along Austria's Mondsee Lake.
'He was inflexible and had no sensitivity,' Graf, 57, told The Associated Press. 'You were sick, something happened, he didn't care ... There was a rule — and that was it.'
Although authorities have clamped down on records, examples of Fritzl's double life are coming to light.
The 73-year-old retired electrician was both a hard worker respected by his peers, and a fiercely private man whose life revolved around the home he ruled with an iron fist."
This is the opposite of love that everyone has been romanticizing as of late.
Lucky for us, love and freedom allow us to choose better.
