QUE SIGNIFIE CRUEL EN ANGLAIS

Cruauté

Cruelty

La cruauté est l'indifférence à la souffrance, et même le plaisir de l'infliger. Le sadisme peut également être lié à cette forme d'action ou de concept. Les moyens cruels d'infliger des souffrances peuvent impliquer une violence, mais la violence positive n'est pas nécessaire pour qu'un acte soit cruel. Par exemple, si une personne se noie et demande de l'aide, une autre personne est capable d'aider, mais elle regarde simplement avec désintéressement ou peut-être un amusement malicieux, cette personne est cruelle, plutôt que violente. George Eliot a déclaré que «la cruauté, comme tout autre vice, ne nécessite aucun motif en dehors de lui-même, cela ne nécessite que de l'opportunité». Bertrand Russell a déclaré que «l'infliction de la cruauté avec une bonne conscience est un délice pour les moralistes. C'est pourquoi ils ont inventé l'enfer». Gilbert K. Chesterton a déclaré que «la cruauté est peut-être le pire type de péché. La cruauté intellectuelle est certainement la pire espèce de cruauté».

Cruelty is indifference to suffering, and even pleasure in inflicting it. Sadism can also be related to this form of action or concept. Cruel ways of inflicting suffering may involve violence, but affirmative violence is not necessary for an act to be cruel. For example, if a person is drowning and begging for help, and another person is able to help, but merely watches with disinterest or perhaps mischievous amusement, that person is being cruel — rather than violent. George Eliot stated that "cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity." Bertrand Russell stated that "the infliction of cruelty with a good conscience is a delight to moralists. That is why they invented Hell." Gilbert K. Chesterton stated that "cruelty is, perhaps, the worst kind of sin. Intellectual cruelty is certainly the worst kind of cruelty."...
