hypocritical concord

[Guest guest]

Not to destroy the peace of anybody, not to cause annoyance to anybody over

any matter, to patch up a compromise, or seeming absence of opposition

between the weak points of individuals or aggregates, is the denotation of

the term "concord" in the current usage of the age. The fear of ourselves

being attacked by those whose weaknesses we are to point out recommends to

our prudence the adoption of this convenient principle of "I am silent if

you are also dumb." The so-called concord of the age is only another name

for: drifting according to one's individual tastes with the current of laws

concocted by the mind, and to not in any way oppose the similar efforts of

others.
