Hamlet, act III.

“To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover’d country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.–Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember’d.” W. Shakespeare

Three little dots.

The use of signs to express a point of view or to leave an idea uncovered can be something very dangerous. Take ‘the three little dots example’:

You write someone about a problem you’ve been facing but that person thinks that actually you have another problem you’re trying to hide so she answers: “Oh, such a pity. I hope all your problems are going to be solved as soon as possible…”

Three-little-dots and there you have the scary ‘glicerine factor’, i.e, a thought that isn’t rich enough in order to turn itself into a irony but tries to sound serious as to brake a hidden truth that has never existed. Ladies and Gents, I present you the Intelectual Bluff - An artifice used by most of the women in order to brake the calm existence of men or of anyother women they find themselves compelled to destroy.

It’s such a pity that those games for beginners don’t work on me. Oh, when will the losers give up the game of cards?

Damages over China TV text gaffe – BBC

By James Reynolds
BBC News, Beijing

In China a man who received thousands of text messages when his mobile phone number was accidentally used in a TV series has been awarded compensation.

Chen Bing’s number had been read out slowly on a television series so another character could write it down.

His phone’s inbox was then flooded with thousands of nuisance text messages from strangers starting in July 2004.

A court has ordered the television production company to pay Mr Chen more than $250 in damages.
