Exams

Pretty often, at University, it happened that the Professor asked the nastiest questions, shaked his head as if he was disapproving your answers, treated you like the ugliest animal on earth.

One of them, a salt and pepper haired woman from Leghorn, who used to break marriages among the Professors in her faculty, said one day: "We are doing this, to help you in life. In your life you'll find people with, only with the strength of words, try to beat you down. You must be strong enough and use the same weapon to react."

So is it stronger a word or a behaviour? To say or to make?

The love and duty that I bear you

IAGO

I am glad of it; for now I shall have reason
To show the love and duty that I bear you
With franker spirit: therefore, as I am bound,
Receive it from me. I speak not yet of proof.
Look to your wife; observe her well with Cassio;
Wear your eye thus, not jealous nor secure:
I would not have your free and noble nature,
Out of self-bounty, be abused; look to't

The evil behind the good, the good slave to the evil.

The Evil (This Neverending Story)

To speak about the evil, and I mean Evil, with a capital letter, first of all you must have known it.

Not read, not imagined.

Known, breathed, lived day after day.

The evil often hides behind the good. Obviously. Otherwise it would be easily recognized and unmasked. Hidden behind the good, it can act untroubled.

I mean: Iago tries to persuade Otello that Desdemona is unfaithfull repeating lots of times the concept that he is telling him this for its safe, than he would not never dare to hurt his feelings.

The members of the ftpb smiled to me, touched me with affection, cooked exclusive dishes only for me: actually they wished me bad luck, touched me to (according to them) send me the most horrible curses, prepared exclusive meals for me to put whoever knows which magical powder in my dish.

The evil is fought with the evil. Don't be naive. The good is weak against the evil. The good fights with watered weapons. The evil uses instead EVERY weapon, especially the good, above all the good (of course, the good functional to the evil).

Innocent people cannot do anything against the evil. If you have been taught this, is subject only for a feuilleton.
