O: "Newest theory... why do people become religious after going for religious camps?"
S: "Hm..I don't know.."
O: "Because one of humans' basic character is always trying to be consistent.. by going to camps, people have an image of themselves that they are religious, good, etc..by deciding to go to camps, it means they are going to that direction..so yeah, consistency problem.."
S: "Interesting.."
O: "The theory's taken from a book I'm reading... there's an example of prisoners of war in China.. the POWs are not tortured, but they are asked to write essays about commnunism...as time goes by, because the essays are made public also, gardually they unconsciously slant that way..at least, they believe that communism is suitable for China..."

The classic adage that "you are what you eat" can be changed into "you are what you read", because what you read is what you think. (Well at least for me.)
How can one continue reading about so many things without being influenced by what one reads?
For now, I still think it's impossible not to be influenced, but I still think it's better taking that risk rather than not relentlessly quenching my curiosity...

Curiosity killed the cat, hey, but maybe it died happy.. Yeah, right, maybe...
