It is one thing to show a man that he is in error, and another to put him in possession of the truth.

Video: A Traffic Stop Gone Horribly Wrong
While the young man who was stopped by the police officer in this video was obviously foolish in several ways, he wasn’t evil, or even acting “against the peace.” The officer, on the other hand, lied from the beginning, and eventually shot the young man. See what you think:

“Therefore the sight that is granted to your world penetrates within the Eternal Justice as the eye into the sea; for though from the shore it sees the bottom, in the open sea it does not, and yet the bottom is there but the depth conceals it.”
Però ne la giustizia sempiterna
la vista che riceve il vostro mondo,
com’ occhio per lo mare, entro s’interna;
che, ben che da la proda veggia il fondo,
in pelago nol vede; e nondimeno
èli, ma cela lui l’esser profondo.
Dante Alighieri, Paradiso, Canto XIX, lines 58-63.
A leader is best when people barely know that he exists,
not so good when people obey and acclaim him,
worst when they despise him.
Fail to honor people,
They fail to honor you.
But of a good leader, who talks little,
when his work is done, his aims fulfilled,
they will all say,
‘We did this ourselves.’
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, chapter 17

“The greatest gift that God in His bounty made in creation, and the most conformable to His goodness, and that which He prizes the most, was the freedom of will, with which the creatures with intelligence, they all and they alone, were and are endowed.”

We throw all our attention on the utterly idle question whether A has done as well as B, when the only question is whether A has done as well as he could.
