I have just read the following quotation:
"A beggar showing his wounds, a hero of his scars!"
I commented on korrektheiten.com thus:
"On this page, where linguistic precision value laudably is placed, I will still illuminate the above saying a little closer.
The hero shows his scars in my opinion, never alswie a beggar his wounds. (So it probably was not even meant. I want to point out anyway.)
You have to ask him three times, until that he can see you.
The many he did not show it.
(I may not be a hero. With scars but I know my way around pretty well.) "

Hi Magnus,
in my eyes, the saying is completely pointless and inaccurate.
A wound is characterized by the fact that it is fresh. Once it healed, the scar may remain.
Consequently - razor sharp closed - must automatically from each beggar become a hero.
In reverse, but it is said that a hero, not before his wounds have healed scars, no is such. He does not necessarily have to be a beggar, this conclusion would be illegal, but a hero he would also not - yet -.
In my personal view, a hero shows his scars do not, but keeps them to himself. Maybe that was used to be a sign of heroism, if you had such scars - see for example the scar on beating students compounds. That was something special - and I also can not understand. However, I freely admit that this can be a generational issue.
Sincerely

You are right.
Nearly all right.
Sometimes you have to show the scars just yet.
Maybe I declare that sometime.
Although I feel no inclination to do so.
As I said this I know myself - certainly not for my pleasure - now, unfortunately, really.

This no longer fits into a "Supplement". (To be to Nachträger, I had, in fact, never as a career preference.)
Today I learned heartbreaking Nice addition gehabten unpleasant experiences of the most amazing way.
I came to a primary school, there to teach a little chess, where for the first time, and several children asked me completely innocent and open, as strange because my face was come about.
Since I could easily speak openly and freely.
