Ours is a shameful state of inconsistency; for while it is acknowledged that in our life in general we are the most merciful20 and gentle of all the Hellenes, yet in the conduct of our trials here we manifestly give the lie to this reputation.
I like and hate this statement at the same time. I understand the point is to say "Look, we're really cool and polite and we even let kids borrow our Xbox from time to time ALL the time!"to create a soft blow for "Yeah, but we perpetuate this crap and give it merit. We know it's happening, but we can't be bothered." It might slip-past of a lot of readers.
