This quote suggests that sometimes, in order to make someone with questionable morals or behavior realize the error of their ways, a strong or forceful action may be necessary. The metaphorical "slap" represents a sudden, impactful event or intervention that shakes the person out of their complacency or denial and forces them to confront their wrongdoing. It implies that subtle or gentle approaches may be ineffective with those who are deeply entrenched in unethical behavior.
Quote By: Aleksandr Pushkin
Donβt trust a man who speaks too beautifully the wolf also approaches gently.
