"Rashomon" teaches you to "tell a good lie"

It is not surprising that people often have different opinions on the same event. But if they were just asked to describe the facts, people would give many very different versions. In Rashomon, thieves, women, ghosts of the dead, and woodcutters all have different opinions. Thieves say that they have the right to steal. The woman's narration concealed her mockery of the two men, highlighting her helplessness. Even ghosts can lie and portray themselves as a disheartened and hopeless suicide. The bystander woodcutter also concealed the fact that he had stolen the valuable dagger. My microeconomics teacher once said to me, "People don't tell the truth!" He thought that questionnaires were the most useless and boring thing because "people don't tell the truth" . If you ask a college student what books do you like to read? He will never tell you that he likes to read pornographic novels. But you go to the school library, what book or page is the worst? Even the martial arts novels with erotic descriptions are turned off the page. So, don't listen to what he says, watch what he does. According to a study in the United States, the average person lies at least 25 times a day (I think it is far more than this number). Feldman, a social psychologist at the University of Massachusetts, said: "If you ask the average person if they tell a lie, they usually say, 'No, I never talk big.' Or 'Just in good faith.' But if you ask If you observe your own behavior carefully one day, you will find that the truth is another matter." Since "people can't tell the truth", how can you tell lies well? There are many knowledge points in "Rashomon". In each person's confession, in addition to exaggeration and other modification methods, there are several commonly used "effective" methods, listed as follows, for everyone's "reference and learning": 1. Concealing some facts. For example, the woodcutter's confession deliberately concealed The fact that he stole the precious dagger would turn him from a bystander to a participant in evil. In life, it is often used to shirk responsibility or lead maliciously. For example, there are some tellers on the Internet who will take malicious screenshots of videos or chat records. And out of context, isolated pictures and text can easily cause ambiguity. When someone questioned him, he would often ask back: "Isn't this what he (she) said (does) himself?" 2. Mixing the true and the false. The confessions of everyone in Rashomon are actually mostly the same, but there is a small lie in key places. For example, Gui Gui said that he committed suicide with a dagger, and the thief said that he killed it with a long knife. The ghosts' "suicide" and the thieves' weapons are unbelievable. But more "smart" people will do it, put some "real hammer" facts first, and then insert a little fake. The former is used to gain the trust of the listener (the real material is preferably exclusive, which will greatly increase your credibility), and the latter is used to "do things". This is often not easy to detect, and their words need to be disassembled and screened separately. 3. Raise others up. The thief said that the man fought him for twenty-three rounds, and a man like him who can fight has never been seen. This is to elevate the man to appear stronger. In fact, they are fighting without rules. This style is often used when touting oneself (or a related person). For example, if you participate in an activity, the best way is to blow the people who participated together. For example, Ma Yun and Ma Huateng's speeches were very exciting, and I was also fortunate to be invited to attend the conference (even if I was just sitting in the corner, or even rubbing it in the past). This method is not very harmful, but after being dismantled, it was ridiculed. 4. The speech that belittles the ghosts of other men. The whole article is an accusation against the woman, as if her shamelessness caused her own tragic experience. It is human nature to beautify oneself (or related parties), but it is not advisable to belittle others, or even slander or spread rumors in order to beautify oneself. However, this phenomenon is common on the Internet, in the workplace, and in every corner of society. It's a really weird thing. The above is just a joke. The world is originally Rashomon, but those who misinterpret it with malice and advertise freedom of speech are really bad. And those who do not discriminate these remarks, carry out secondary dissemination, and innocently say "I just heard about it" are just stupid and bad.
