Interesting that although these proverbs have been translated into English, the grammer, spelling and cultural inference is so bad...

Hey Mike - you should have put this in my 'Debate Relief Thread' - Then again, nobody seems to be interested in it 🙁

She writes to me (in good English) to say she is well 🙂

Missed any periods? Like you did in your supposedly correct, or as you say "good" sentence?

I guess it's ok. What would an Englishman know of correct English?

Perhaps as much as an American might know about satire?

Force begets force.

One who's needs are simple will find them fulfilled.

Wealth does not enrich the spirit.

Self importance, interest is self destructive.

Victory in war stems from devastation and must be mourned.

The harder one tries, the more resistance one creates for oneself.

The more one acts in harmony with the universe, the more one will achieve, with less effort.

The truly wise make little of their own wisdom-for the more the know, the more they realise how little they know.

When we lose the fundementals, we supplant them with increasingly inferior values, which we pretend are true values.

Stupidity leads to force.

The wise are responsible for the foolish.
The honest are responsible for the dishonest.

Glorification of wealth, power and beauty, beget crime, envy and shame.

The 'feminine' qualities or 'water' qualities of flexibility are superior to
'masculinity', strength and rigidity.

Everything in its own time and place.

I think you mean Irony. But if satire is what you think it is, then so be it. I am assuming you are speaking of your lack of ability with the English language, and not some other aspect of the original humor of this thread.

Incidentally, I just cut and pasted the above from an email and very seldom do I find it necessary to correct the structure, grammar or punctuation of junk received in that manner. I rather pitty the person who would feel such a need for perfection.

Do you want to have a writing contest? And let others judge on the quantity and quality of our respective writings? That would be fun. I will suggest a Science Fiction comedic story. Involving people here on RHP. Are you game?

I especially like the one about "acting in harmony with the universe".

There is nothing like a Gamma Ray Burster to liven up a party. That is the part of the universe that I feel is most important to get in touch with.

Anything alive within about twenty thousand light years is fried in it's turn! Toast! Cool! Love that universe.

I try. You have me wondering though. Did you ever read my "entertainment" story I wrote last year? It is rather long, but might be considered as humor. Maybe I'll post it again here. It is so old, I have not a clue if or how it might be resurrected.
