Anyways...I wonder though (I haven't read this book) how does it turn out? Is the guy so much more worse? As that image does hold true most of the time (blossom then into the fruit)...sometimes I think you can see the fruit right away, for better or for worse...I have met the people that refuse to put on a mask, and I have met others who are to oblivious to do so...these are rare, though. Adam put on a mask when I first met him. He acted all hip and cool, then I found out he played with yoyos, wore flannel, and liked Steve...severe let down. Doesn’t read fiction…??? /grumble grumble

As for your quote, it's a great reminder that we are constantly "becoming" a certain kind of person. Our present choices solidify our character. As Dallas Willard said, "We are becoming the kind of people we will be for all of enternity." Thanks for sharing, I love hearing your thoughts!
