"Don't talk too much." A wise recommendation, I think :)
My family was going through similar experiences and were of the same age (my grandpa was born in 1900). Their experience were of very different nature, compared to my own life. The more they endured, the tougher they got, I think. It's true what is being said: "If it does not kill you, it can make you stronger." Though, people also lost some other qualities. No thing is without consequences.
If one is being accused to lie this already can be seen as bad mannerism. Even though it might be true, that a person lies, if you go straight ahead in saying "you are a fucking liar", the outcome is probably not that the addressed one will answer: "Thank you. Yes, I lied. I am sorry."
I often think about "shame and blame" and even though it seems to work in one way, in another way it does not. If that makes sense to you?
Our grandparents saw some challenging times, and I believe this is why they were able to leave us many wise lessons, at least for those of us who were intelligent enough to listen.
I don't believe in shame and blame, with the exception of politicians, 🤣 but rather I distance myself from people who demonstrate that they are dishonest!
For a long time, I did not recognize that it was wisdom what I received from the elders. The older I become myself, the more broadened my perspective and how I explain to myself why others acted and thought the way they did.
It is certainly right to ask about the responsibility and errors of politicians and to be clear when contradictions can be proven against them. There is admittedly the statement here that politicians only learn a lesson in this way of public denunciation - put on the defensive. But whether one feels inward responsibility when one is publicly found guilty is another matter. Public shaming and the loss of face can just as well lead to further compensation, trigger thoughts of revenge etc. - A convicted politician may perhaps step down from the public stage, but I doubt whether this will make him of integrity if he is slaughtered in the media (just as if he is praised in the media as a great reformer or saviour). Guilt can be very destructive, as can vanity.
Very true!
Yes, I'm listening to you.
My grandma doesn't like liars too
