Here, 9 complete strangers were randomly abducted and put into a "completely sealed house" and the last person standing (that was ensuring the death of all 8 other "contestants")would leave the house with 5 million dollars. All of them were just ordinary people who wouldn't result to kill for money, yet when they realized it was impossible to escape the house, they had no choice but to play the game and some had to kill to defend themselves. Surprisingly, the last survivor was an innocent lady who didn't have the intention of winning the "game". Nobody bothered to kill her because she seemed too harmless. The policeman (among the abducted), who was thought to be the most probable winner for he had with him a gun, was killed at the very beginning of the story. It is important to always keep a low profile so as not to get the attention of those who want to bring you down. <BR/><BR/>YanFang Zhu<BR/>HI18-N0oyanfango0https://www.blogger.com/profile/05040277834541042681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276871870184172363.post-24130469709312445942008-09-12T07:25:00.000-07:002008-09-12T07:25:00.000-07:00I agree with Allan.

Of course, if you are too imperfect (with so much flaws), everyone will hate you, but true, never appear to perfect because everyone knows that no one is perfect, and then if you try to appear too perfect, people will just try to find your mistakes, or worse, make mistakes for you. And that is not a good thing. People may create lies just to destroy your image of perfection. That's why most of the worse things happen to good persons because other people try to find what's wrong with them.

It's because we all know that no one is perfect. Therefore, appearing to be too perfect would just make them think that you aren't being true to the people. It would make people think that you have a hidden agenda, therefore making them go against you in order to 'save' them for your 'evil plan.'<BR/><BR/>-Pauline Purugganan<BR/>Hi18-NPauline Puruggananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08359133400588120863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276871870184172363.post-41963569915289401902008-09-11T13:03:00.000-07:002008-09-11T13:03:00.000-07:00you see, appearing too perfect is NOT a choice. I ...you see, appearing too perfect is NOT a choice. I believe one is perfect because others perceive him that way. This could be explained by George Robert Mead's concept of " the generalized other," being able to define one's character or behavior in terms of other people. It's purely subjective. Now, the thing is that when people see you as too perfect, it is not bad at all. Certainly, you would only become powerful to the extent of their perception.This interplay then cultivates competition which could perhaps push one to become better. It is all in your hands then if you would be proving them right or wrong...<BR/><BR/>:Joanne Atienza Njoanne atienzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209684205906675980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276871870184172363.post-16740170132455720682008-09-10T23:13:00.000-07:002008-09-10T23:13:00.000-07:00Since we are human persons and we are not perfect,...Since we are human persons and we are not perfect, I think that "appearing too perfect" is something really really impossible to do.

The brighter you are the more people wish for you to be extinguished."<BR/><BR/>I agree. Also, this law agrees to the general truths of life.<BR/><BR/>You have much talent and skill equivalent to another person's 'perfection'. No one's really THAT perfect, as to speak, because, according to religion, only God is perfect. Someone's going to be prettier, or someone's going to be smarter than you. Or if you are the smartest at something, usually you'll suck at other areas like sports, or, uhm, love/family life or something else. There's always be a hole in a person's life. No one has absolute extremes.<BR/><BR/>The bottomline is: everyone can appear to be perfect (some can in the most unconventional ways), so everyone's just about good as you, which means, they can take you down too. So yeah, never appear too perfect. :D<BR/><BR/>Miguel Rojas<BR/>Hi18 OMiguel Rojashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783895037685980570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276871870184172363.post-58741659587190733562008-09-09T07:01:00.000-07:002008-09-09T07:01:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Miguel Rojashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783895037685980570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276871870184172363.post-4874030562127266482008-09-07T09:12:00.000-07:002008-09-07T09:12:00.000-07:00"janine cindy santiago said...This law somehow jus..."janine cindy santiago said...<BR/>This law somehow justifies the Filipino stereotype of the "crab mentality". "<BR/><BR/>To follow up on what Janine said about crab mentality and Filipinos. I would take it a step further and call it crab mentality and the human race. It is "innate and inevitable". <BR/>Another thing I would like to add about the crab mentality concept is that, like the crabs, we cannot get ahead or move forward because of precisely how the crabs move, side to side...effective image of the law there.<BR/><BR/>As far as this law being compatible with everything, well there are boundaries but the reason I say everything is that happens every second of every day, envy happens. When you are walking around the streets and you see someone prettier than you, or you are just simply sitting down, doing nothing and wishing for something you didn't have. <BR/><BR/>A good place to see this in action is in school. School is the epicenter of judgment. The reason to why girls take forever to dress up for school, the reason to why boys take their showers and brush their teeth, because everyone is judging you. What happens to the ones that are shinning as they walk the halls? The rest wishes to be like them and hopes they trip and fall on their faces. <BR/><BR/>Just remember back in your high school, think of the Mr or Ms perfect. If something bad happened to them it would be the talk of the town. If they did something bad, not only do the kids feel better, saying to themselves, "They weren't that great after all", but even the parents are thinking the same thing. Why do we look for the stars to fall? Well as stated over and over again, envy is "innate and inevitable". <BR/><BR/>This is a law that you should always have in your pocket.
