A generous confession disarms slander.

Summary

The act of confessing generously to a wrongdoing has the power to disarm slander or harmful accusations. Instead of denying or hiding one's mistakes, such a confession displays honesty and vulnerability. By openly acknowledging one's faults and taking responsibility, others are less likely to further spread false or damaging information. Such an act of generosity in confessing can disarm the intentions behind slander, as it fosters understanding, forgiveness, and the potential for reconciliation.

[] Everyone tries to make his life a work of art. We want love to last and we know that it does not last; even if, by some miracle, it were to last a whole lifetime, it would still be incomplete. Perhaps, in this insatiable need for perpetuation, we should better understand human suffering, if we knew that it was eternal. It appears that great minds are, sometimes, less horrified by suffering than by the fact that it does not endure. In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal suffering would at least give us a destiny. But we do not even have that consolation, and our worst agonies come to an end one day. One morning, after many dark nights of despair, an irrepressible longing to live will announce to us the fact that all is finished and that suffering has no more meaning than happiness.
