The way to overcome the angry man is with gentleness, the evil man goodness, the miser with generosity, and the liar with truth. {Indian proverb}It sounds good, doesn't it? If only people and life were that effing easy. Trust me, it takes more than a friendly biscuit to tame a hungry lion. And it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Then it's war. {Savitar}
The quote from an Indian proverb suggests that positive responses can effectively counteract negative behaviors: gentleness can calm anger, goodness can counter evil, generosity can overcome greed, and truth can unveil lies. However, the subsequent commentary reflects skepticism toward this idealistic view, acknowledging that real-life situations are far more complex and challenging. The author implies that simply responding with kindness or honesty is often insufficient to manage intense emotions or conflicts.
