獅子博兔的遊戲

有時一些強弱懸殊的局勢，明明可以不戰而勝，但仍有人以「獅子博兔」的狠勁應付，把對手(敵人)纖滅於萌芽狀態。
獅子博兔，必盡全力，不容有失。
當然，撇開其他不說，光談結果：求勝，就不能猶豫不決，網開一面。政治鬥爭激烈，社會商戰慘烈，情場亦你死我活。優勝劣敗，沒有同情分。
任何死裡逃生的人，若給他卧薪嘗膽機會，你便追悔奠及了。
所以「容情不下手，下手不容情」，有些遊戲若心太軟、手太軟、嘴太軟，就玩不起了。
獅子何以有這種「天性」？也是江湖歷練。
母獅產子後三天，把小獅子帶到懸崖，往深丟下去，這是牠的第一關,不幸摔死，即天生軟弱不堪，無力自保，難成大器。若倖存，且一天天成長，那麼覓食、捕獵、卻敵、爭雄……萬獸之王，當然靠真材實料，優異本能，以及心狠手辣。
想不到是母獅的策劃。
─ 你看，連媽媽都那麼狠了，牠又豈會是窩囊廢？凡事皆有前因後果，起承轉合。

Daniel : Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (Paperback - April 1, 2008) from Cathy

Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian speculative fiction novel authored by Ray Bradbury and first published in 1953. The novel presents a future American society in which the masses are hedonistic, and critical thought through reading is outlawed. The central character, Guy Montag, is employed as a "fireman" (which, in this future, means "book burner"). The number "451" refers to the temperature (in Fahrenheit) at which the books burn when the "firemen" burn them "for the good of humanity". Written in the early years of the Cold War, the novel is a critique of what Bradbury saw as an increasingly dysfunctional American society.

Daniel: Currently reading <24個比利> from Shan(?)


Author: Daniel Keyes
擁有心理學背景的丹尼爾．凱斯，擅長在小說中探討人類最微妙、最深層的心理問題。他在俄亥俄大學任教時，便開始以多重人格為創作的方向，1980年發表的《第五位莎莉》及1981年發表的《24個比利》，讓他的名字與「精神分析小說」劃上等號！

1977年在美國俄亥俄州涉及連續強暴案的嫌犯比利遭警方逮捕，但是，他對自己曾犯下的罪行居然毫無記憶。他可能是個精明的騙子，犯下了強姦重罪卻安然無事，否則他就真的是一位多重人格的患者。事實上，比利的內部存在著24種人格特質，面對此一事實，法官要如何才能做出判決？

It's really a long long book (with nearly 600 pages and a hundred of names/characters), so I am still reading it. But indeed it is not so horrible as you imagine. Will share my feeling/observation here as soon as I finish the book!
