Chutzpuh!

[RobinReborn]

Is anybody familiar with the concept of Chutzpah?

 

I've heard the word several times but my favorite description was in By Way of Deception (a book by a Mossad defector).  He said Chutzpah was taking a shit on your enemies doorstep then ringing the bell and asking for toilet paper.

Chutzpah.  Cheeky impudence.  My user name  Ba'al  Chatzaf  is  Hebrew for Lord of Chutzpah.

That explains a lot.

 

Do you consider intentional self harm to attract compassion an act of Chutzpuh?

I do not.  That is a form of manipulation  and  is ethically underhanded. That is stealing compassion rather than earning it.

What are the limits of Chutzpuh?  Where do you draw the line between Chutzpuh and unethical behavior?
