Book Reviews of It's All In The Playing
Book Review: A Perturbing View of Life
Summary: 2 Stars
This kind of modern day thinking is mighty scary and I am sad that Shirley MacLaine promotes such foolishness. Ms. MacLaine likens life to a play and believes we ALL pick our parts and others are just characters in our play and besides, they PICKED their part too! Why is it people who have money, fame and relatively good luck fall for this? Why never starving victims of war or horribly abused women in Saudi Arabia? This line of thinking also apparently justifies whatever you choose to do in your life as it is merely for the experience and quite eliminates the need for much of a conscience. After all, if you decide to hurt someone, it was chosen in THEIR life script as well. Psychic types often promote this viewpoint. They claim a person who has been murdered was really a willing participant, as they actually wanted to leave this world. Scary concepts that psychopaths buy right into for their justifications. Does Ms. MacLaine really understand what she is encouraging? Pat Brown/Director/Investigative Criminal Profiler/The Sexual Homicide Exchange, Inc.
