À propos de そうすると

そうすると, a combination of 然(そ)う (an adverb meaning 'like that', or 'as such') する and the conjunction particle と, expresses that 'once (A) was done, (B)', or 'upon (A), (B)'. そうすると is usually used at the beginning of a new sentence, to highlight something that occurred due to the circumstances mentioned in the previous sentence/statement.

As a stand-alone statement, そうすると is classified as a conjunction.

Caution

The 'result' that そうすると conveys, should always be one of two specific things. Something that the speaker has no control over, or a conclusion/determination that the speaker wants to confirm is correct (based on their understanding of the previous statement).

When そうすると is used to draw a conclusion about another person's statement, the translation is closer to 'so you mean to say (A)', or 'if so, then (A)'.

Fun Fact

Although 然(そ)う has a kanji form, this particular word will almost always be written in hiragana. This is true for many different expressions that use そう, not just そうすると.

        I think it IS a bit weird when you go about that sentence that way, but, try to look at it from this angle:

        If we group the sentence’s meaning like this:
        [素直で正直に][生きるようにして。]
        It certainly feels very weird.

        But, what’s actually happening is:
        [素直で][正直に生きるように][して。]
        (Frankly… / Honestly… / Please…) (So that you lead an honest life) (Do it)

        By putting it all together, we get the final translation:
        “Please, try to live honestly.”

        And, to give a more concise answer for this, で is just a conjunctive here. It’s connecting the sentence rather than t...

        Thanks - so the で here isn’t that they’re also asking them to be 素直, but it’s more like an instrumental marker, like “With sincerity (from me), try to live honestly”, is that right?

        It’s the same basic particle meaning, so yeah!
