"The wise thing is for us diligently to train ourselves to prevarication thoughtfully, judiciously; to lie with a good object, and not an evil one; to lie for others' reward, and not our own; to lie healingly, charitably, humanely, non cruelly, hurtfully, maliciously; to lie gracefully and graciously, not awkwardly and clumsily; to prevarication firmly, frankly, squarely, with head cock, not haltingly, tortuously, with pusillanimous mien, as beingness aback of our high calling." تاریخ نخستین خوانش: روز بیست و دوم ماه ژوئن سال2003میلادی عنوان: انحطاط فن دروغگويی و چند داستان دیگر؛ نویسنده: مارک تواین؛ مترجم: کاظم عمادی؛ تهران، نشر و پژوهش دادار، سال1381، در144ص، شابک9647294433؛ موضوع: نوشتارهای نویسندگان ایالات متحده آمریکا - سده19م مارک تواین، متن این نوشتار را، به انجمن تاریخ و باستانشناسی «هارتفورد» هدیه کرده اند؛ ایشان در این نوشتار کوتاه (پنج صفحه)، میگویند: (دروغ یک نوع: تفریح و سرگرمی، تسلیت و دلداری، ملجا و پناهی در بدبختی، و بهترین، و شفیقترین دوست نوع بشر است؛ آنگاه که زندگی برایتان دشوار میشود، کوشش کنید، برای کسیکه زندگی در نظرش دشوارتر است، کاری بکنید، آنگاه خواهید دید، چقدر آسوده تر شده اید.) پایان نقل تاریخ بهنگام رسانی 02/01/1400هجری خورشیدی؛ 26/11/1400هجری خورشیدی؛ ا. شربیانی
Less satirical than you might look from the title, sharp, funny, memorable.
Heyo Liars!!!! "Lying is universal—we all do information technology. Therefore, the wise thing is for united states of america diligently to train ourselves to prevarication thoughtfully, judiciously; to lie with a good object, and not an evil one; to lie for others' advantage, and not our own; to lie healingly, charitably, humanely,non cruelly, hurtfully, maliciously; to lie gracefully and graciously, not awkwardly and clumsily; to lie firmly, frankly, squarely, with head erect, not haltingly, tortuously, with pusillanimous mien, every bit being aback of our high calling." Okay, we all lie. That is the truth. Nosotros all are judicious liars. Tell me the truth, how honestly practise y'all answer this question, "How are you."? Every bit far as I am concerned, I don't become telling everyone almost how I truly am. I put on my best smile and reply, "I am FINE." knowing very well that I am not. Liar! And then comes the silent lies that dominate our lives. Co-ordinate to Mark Twain, a silent prevarication is "the charade which ane conveys past simply keeping still and concealing the truth. Many obstinate truth-mongers indulge in this dissipation, imagining that if they speak no lie, they lie not at all."...the unspoken truths are lies. Liar! Mark Twain says, "An injurious lie is an uncommendable thing; and so, also, and in the same degree, is an injurious truth—a fact that is recognized past the law of libel." This is partly a prevarication, okay, partly truthful. It's meliorate an injurious truth than a lie. I mean, the truth remains, deal with it. An injurious prevarication is unforgivable. Don't lie!
A very mannerly essay regarding the potential positive nature of lying and how it is ultimately unavoidable. It's a thought-provoking piece for sure, it makes you think about how you subconsciously lie to yourself and to others on a regular basis without even existence fully aware of it for the almost role. Notwithstanding, this is non portrayed every bit a negative matter at all, it explains how it is not only natural, just how it tin have a surprisingly positive bear on on people. This can exist summed up with a final quote well-nigh the very end of the essay. "Lying is universal—we all do it. Therefore, the wise matter is for us diligently to train ourselves to prevarication thoughtfully, judiciously; to lie with a good object, and not an evil 1; to prevarication for others' advantage, and not our ain; to lie healingly, charitably, humanely, non cruelly, hurtfully, maliciously; to lie gracefully and graciously, not awkwardly and clumsily; to lie firmly, frankly, squarely, with head erect, not haltingly, tortuously, with pusillanimous mien, equally being ashamed of our high calling."
Suggested rules for lying This review is of the free Kindle edition Equally much as I admire Marker Twain as a humorist, I have to admit that the title is funnier than the essay. It is a pretty good essay concerning some truths about lying. In it Twain opposes both injurious truth and injurious lying. At the Amazon listing for this essay, the comments and reviews posted by the publisher or by Amazon business organization John Bunyan's The Pilgrim'due south Progress. Not Twain's essay on lying.

"Apriya na satyam na bravit." - Sanskrit saying ------------ "An awkward, unscientific lie is often equally ineffectual as the truth." "Everybody lies--every twenty-four hours, every hour, awake, asleep, in his dreams, in his joy, in his mourning." "What I bemoan is the growing prevalence of the brutal truth. Let the states do what we can to eradicate information technology. An injurious truth has no merit over an injurious lie." "... A stranger called and interrupted yous. You said with your hearty tongue, "I'1000 glad to run into you," and said with your heartier soul, "I wish you were with the cannibals and it was dinner time ..." "None of u.s. could alive with an habitual truth-teller; simply thank goodness none of united states of america has to. An habitual truth-teller is simply an impossible fauna; he does not exist; he never has existed."
("That which is not cute is untruthful and should not be said.")
"Es extraordinario el completo y vasto estudio que dedicó el Creador a la gran obra de hacer desgraciado al hombre." Con relatos breves te suelta verdades como puños con un sarcasmo único, y las cartas de Satanás describiendo a los humanos son sencillamente sublimes.
I've never heard of anyone arguing An interesting, entertaining, brusk read!
for dishonesty, but this essay/novella
made sense. Mark Twain basically says
that lying is practiced, and then long as its intentions
are good. And it's true--everyone does lie. Information technology'south
human nature. Twain goes as far as to say that
it's beneficial in relationshis.
Short. Sweet. Sublime. Superb. A timeless 'Twain.'
Mark Twain es un genio del sarcasmo y el humor. Lo demuestra en este pequeño ensayo de apenas 200 páginas. Dividido en pequeños relatos, cuentos y cartas, el autor termina convenciéndonos de que la mentira es necesaria, valiosa y que absolutamente todos nosotros mentimos. A veces para bien y otras para mal. Me han gustado, especialmente, los cuentos donde al niño bueno siempre le ocurren todas las desgracias por tratar de hacer lo que la moral dicta y el niño malo se auction siempre con la suya. En la vida real suele ocurrir de la misma manera. La carta concluding del diablo hablando de los humanos pero, especialmente, de Dios es, además de united nations claro ejemplo del ateísmo de Marking Twain, el humor más negro y retorcido del autor. Me ha parecido sublime.
