Okay, now, back to post B...
This has nothing to do with the theme but what the heck.

Can the first impression affect your relationship with one?
I think it can.
In Deception Point, Rachel said "Don't believe in politicians".
I found it quite interesting, since, first, her father is a politician, and this book's gave off the impression that politicians are mostly not trustworthy because they would always want to use you to their benefit.
Well, even afterwards, when Rachel found out that the President is not going to use her to his benefit but just asking her to present an information to his staff, she still doubt it.
Because Rachel had such terrible impression of politicians with her father, even after seeing the virtue of the President she still couldn't fully believe him.
In a more general situation, like meeting a friend of your friend, and you had a terrible first impression with that person, even after being friend with that person, you still have that doubt in your mind--did I made the right decision?
Well, first impression and the assumptions following it can be quite frightening.
Your brain can make up all the things that are just...quite painful and untrue.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

We all know this, but it's difficult to do.
At least every time I go to the book store, I check out the cover first. ::shrug::

Deception Point post 6B

So... I started Decption Point, a really good book by Dan Brown who is my favorite author.
It's very interesting so far...

Anyway, I just...wasn't very inspired by this...

OH! There we go!
In Deception Point, we fliped back and forth between Rachel Sexton and the political compaign of Senator Sexton.
::sigh::
And, as you might have noticed, it's another family filled with problems.
And, I am not going to get into that.

What I want to talk about in this post is the possible relation between glory and cheating.
I think all or at least most of us have lied to someone before.
And if you have not, well, good for you.
Most of the times we lie due to selfish reasons.
For instance, we don't want to be scorned, punished for what we have done wrong, and in my opinion, it is a twisted form of glory.
Also, there are people like Senator Sexton in this world who lied to create greater benefits to himself.

Another common example: cheating.
It's really similar to what Senator Sexton has done in Deception Point.
One cheats to get more questions correct, and again, glory.

Throughout history, people had used cheating, lying, and forcefully taken over to create benefits, glory anf fulfill one's desire which never ends.

And is it really worth it?
Only time could answer.
