People of the Lie, by M. Scott Peck

The book talks about what's evil, and possible ways to confront evil people. Real cases are examined.

It is an eye opener. My previous manager in LA was pathetic, and his behavior and words were very confusing. From this book, I got some ideas what he was, and why he acted in that way.

At first, I thought everyone should read this book, not only to protect yourself, but to protect the ones you love. After finishing the book, I changed my mind. If you are happy, if your loved ones are happy, no need to read the book - because it kindly of awakes "devil", which could cause risk. Otherwise, pls read it. We do not want to be hurt by evil people; at the same time, each person has its "evil" personality and we do not want to hurt the one we love.

At this moment, I think God and Satan are two human natures inside everyone. The notation of God and Satan were created because they exist in our nature. For Saints, their God nature is visible and Satan is controlled. For the evil people, the opposite. For regular people, it is more like a balance.

熬至滴水成珠, 池莉

池莉的散文集。前几篇是用心写了,文字挺好。最后的两篇写作日记让人眼睛一亮:直接、不做作、写出了自己的感受。但是整本书的文字刻意、做作。主要是作者心境的问题。
