A sensible man pretending to be confused is a kind of respect.

Frankness and frankness is an excellent character. But if you blindly remain honest regardless of the occasion and the situation, it may not only be stupid, but may also cause a big disaster.

When we are honest with someone we don't know, we may be bitten by poisonous snakes. When we go against the situation and be frank, we may not help things, but lead the situation in the opposite direction.

Therefore, the human experience for a long time will become introverted, not the appearance of shyness, silence, but the introverted character. Our character will no longer be so angular and colorful, but the lines are lubricated and the color is smooth, just like jade.

This seems to be difficult to distinguish from worldly sophistication and Chengfu, and even has a strong consistency. But real maturity is not sophisticated, it should be the result of wisdom and rational choice.

It's not a bad thing for a wise man to pretend to be confused at the right time. At the very least, they do not rely on the courage of blood to "uphold justice" regardless of all concerns.

For example, when a smart old man watches a young man repeat his mistakes, the old man will not immediately criticize or remind him. He knew in advance that the young man had little experience, had no consciousness of fault in his mind, and had suffered too little because of his mistakes.

As a result, he understands that reminding now will only lead to boredom, and even increase the unnecessary psychological torture of young people. He only faintly stated his experience to young people, and did not exert a tough attitude or show too much concern.

At the right time, the old man even leads the young to the wrong place, giving them a taste of pain, awakening stale thoughts and awakening rational and correct consciousness. just as Socrates guides young people to give birth in their own hearts.

The old man was silent, he was in no hurry for success, and the impotent behavior of his descendants did not upset him. Sensible people not only understand things and rules, but also manage their emotions well. Only in this way can they "not go out of line".

Therefore, when it is appropriate for sensible people to pretend to be confused is a kind of respect, respect for themselves, respect for others, or respect for law. All these behaviors will eventually make the straightforward and frank character more mature and more beneficial to others.

Immediate frankness can usher in people's praise and infamy; endurance's lasting frankness will also attract people's dissatisfaction and disdain, because everyone's head has only immediate interests and short-term eyesight. When people can endure temporary insults and do not understand, we can achieve the character of honesty, reap long-term benefits, and benefit all.
