Food for thought

"If you do not have much imagination, you will be difficult to deceive."

~The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie


This is totally random. I wrote about having a lot of fun with my Stanza app on iPhone and have been downloading all sorts of free ebooks to read. This sentence popped up when I was reading the thoroughly enjoyable writings of Agatha Christie, whose books I last read when I was in secondary school. I take the sentence to mean that if a person does not have the tendency to think too much or too deeply about things but instead takes them at face value, it may not be easy to mislead him, for very often the truth is not as complicated as we like to make it out to be.
