Interacting With Mark Twain

Are we true all the time? How could we be considered "good person", if we didn't hide the truth once and for all when....? "If the pain and sadness on the face were stamped", we would be ugly, horrible... there is the simulation, the pious lie, the polite, political language. The social rule of good manners therefore consists in not propagating how much good we think of ourselves, and how much evil we think from others... If we were completely honest, we couldn't live well socially. In this case, living well socially consists of, hypocritically dissimulate with all security and tranquility what we really think... We will thus be perfect for socializing, being imperfect... If we were pure, there would be no think so well of ourselves and so badly of others... We wouldn't have defects... but that can't be here and in this world....!
