First of all, there is a group of people called psychopath who has strange personality. They are inclined toward antisocial and criminal behavior. They do thing that common people couldn’t understand like killing people without any sympathy and guilt. It’s a kind of personality disorder. Only through rigorous and scientific study of psychology, police can catch those crazy people and protect more victims. Through psychological treatment, psychopaths may be cured.

Imagine that you receive a letter from a publisher that states that the publisher is going to publish your short story. You tell a friend that you knew that they would publish it. However, the friend reminds you that before you received the letter, you had told him that you were very uncertain about whether the publisher would accept your short story for publication.
