It is the green-ey'd monster, which doth mock
The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss,
Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger:
But O, what damnèd minutes tells he o'er
Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves!".

He used a lot of big words. I think maybe part of what got him into trouble was that he did too much thinking. Sometimes he tried too hard to make sense of the world, to figure out why people were bad to each other so often. A couple of times I tried to tell him it was a mistake to get too deep into that kind of stuff, but Alex got stuck on things. He always had to know the absolute right answer before he could go on to the next thing”.

But rarely do they have any advice to give to themselves, because looking at oneself objectively is hard.  “Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own”.

Why should he call her whore? who keeps her company? What place? what time? what form? what likelihood?
