📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
What is hidden behind human altruism?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Confronted with these short sentences that strip human hypocrisy and vanity bare without mercy, I felt my face burn, as though my own shameful inner thoughts had been caught out. La Rochefoucauld's insight pierces sharply to the truth that self-interest, after all, lies behind the actions we dress up as virtue. For anyone who would rather face themselves through cold truth than sweet consolation, this book will be the most honest of mirrors.

"우리가 가진 미덕은 종종 변장한 악덕에 불과하다."

Reflect honestly: is your kindness truly generous, or does it spring from a hidden self-interest or vanity craving recognition?
