We confess our little faults to persuade people that we have no large ones.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Quotes and maxims were a speciatly of French born writer Francois de La Rochefoucauld, so today we have a thought from a professional.
There are noble purposes in revealing our faults. Open, truthful confessionals and inspirational testimonies can fall in the aforementioned category. However, there are also, and unfortunately more often, selfish motives for such a incriminating revelation.
We can release our small faults easily enough to curb the curiosity, care, or chastisement intended for our much larger wrongdoings. Or to turn the attention away. Like an EP before an album. Just give them something to sink their teeth into. Keep them occupied.
