Talking is monstrously dangerous. So I prefer to be silent, if I can be silent. You need to talk only if there are no other options. It is necessary to speak from despair.
Never talk to the police and make excuses. The fact is that it is one thing when your word is against the word of your opponent and quite another thing when your word is against the word of the offender and the police. When two against one is a vulnerability, so keep quiet out of harm's way. Sin is a mistake.
No one can call himself an honest man who has not broken a single law. For example, there are over 10,000 laws in the US, many of which are contradictory and absurd. It is impossible not to break the law. It is impossible, justifying, not to incriminate yourself. All you can do is keep quiet and not Twitch.
There is no need to make excuses, because despite the intuitive feeling that this can protect, in fact, it is useless and will not help in any way. Not a single person has ever managed to justify anything. The thought that you will be special and first is pride.
There is no need to justify yourself, because, justifying yourself, it is easy to lie and embellish reality a little and only on the basis of this small lie to be accused of a crime. Lying as an excess of self-defense is already an independent crime.
Do not make excuses, because even a truthful answer can, by taking the phrase out of context and focusing on it, turn it into a reason for accusation. Any piece of truth taken out of context can be represented as truth, but the essence of it will become a lie.
The desire to justify oneself is the desire to present oneself as ideal, which in itself is a sin of pride and a reason for punishment, suspicion and big problems.
The prosecutor has the right to lie, the accused should know about it. Therefore, let the accuser prove his words, and the accused does not need to justify himself, but it is desirable to remain silent.
Talk less personal, boastful and superfluous. Listen more. You have one tongue and two ears. Losing one ear is not as tragic as losing one tongue. Any word you say can offend your neighbor, cause jealousy or envy in him, after which you will run into a conflict.
Pride is shamelessness and an escape from shame. It's not a shame not to know, but it's a shame not to learn. The proud man thinks he is very smart and almost perfect, as a result, there is no shame in him, he runs around from shame, and does not want to learn.
Prison teaches people to value freedom. Those who do not value freedom go to prison and consider life in freedom to be bad, striving to improve it by any means. People go to prison out of disrespect for free life.
When you brag too much and praise yourself, then I seem to depreciate against your background. It begins to seem to me that you neglect and disrespect me. Of course, I understand that you're just a narcissistic braggart with an inferiority complex, but it's still unpleasant.
