Liar Game is not great because of its tricks (which are good), or its plot (which is sort of average, even cliche). It's great because I think it really throws you a question that Nao Kanzaki asks,
"Being stupidly honest, ikemasen ka?"
I find Nao Kanzaki, the innocent main character, extraordinarily frustating and infuriating.
But that only shows that I.. have given in to the notion that given chance and situation, anyone will be able to betray you.
I have come to believe that in this world.. there are simply too many wicked people.
So I couldn't stand her innocence, the way she was tricked over and over again. Eventhough she is really cute ^^
And having dealt with so many property agents in the last few months..
my belief has grown even stronger. People can be shockingly cruel and selfish.
But lately I have also begun to understand a very powerful part of the famous Sermon on the Mount.
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy!"
If you show mercy to others, God too will show you mercy. And it makes a whole lot of difference when you are walking in His mercy.
And mercy.. I need that aplenty.
