Decency: A matter of relativity
A woman in love with her husband breaks down when she finds out that he has an affair with another woman –whom he loves. The broken-hearted wife bursts out yelling out outrageous adjectives at the mistress, who is the blame for the split of her marriage. The wife wonders how a woman could do this to a decent person. For her, this woman was one of no morals and unprincipled, not to label this woman as a bitch. The wife parts company with her husband, and each one moves on. After a time, the woman, who was once married, falls in love again, but this new man isn't single. Her best friend, who knows all her story, asks her in astonishment, "I don't understand you... how could you be involved with a married man after having suffered what his poor wife does?" "That's the way as life is," she answered simply. So Decency is relative.
