“If you don’t have anything nice to say,
at least make it funny.”
The Sage understands that kindness is a virtue — but so is wit. And let’s be honest: if we all waited until we had something nice to say, most conversations would consist of prolonged silences and apologetic biscuit offers.
Instead, the Sage proposes a middle path. If you must criticise, at least aim for style points. Add a flourish. Wrap your barbed remark in charm and dazzle. If you can’t be diplomatic, be disarmingly hilarious.
This is not permission to be cruel. It’s encouragement to turn your inner sarcasm into a form of high art. Just make sure your delivery is better than their comeback.
