William Shakespeare

ficar com raiva sobre ciúmes

Why doth man's heart ignite with fiery rage, consumed by jealous thoughts that doth cage? 'Tis a wretched emotion, born of mistrust, that twists and turns, crumbling bonds to dust. What doth provoke this tempestuous flame, that burns with such fury and lays claim? 'Tis jealousy, the green-eyed monster, indeed, that whispers foul lies and sows poisonous seed. Ah, the human heart, so fragile and weak, easily swayed, prone to wrath it doth seek. But what purpose doth serve this envious ire? Doth it bring solace, or set hearts afire? We cannot control the actions of another, nor claim ownership, each soul is our brother. To be consumed by anger o'er such trivial things, only tarnishes the spirit and corruption brings. For love is a flame that should burn pure and bright, not dimmed by jealousy's toxic might. Let us instead embrace trust and believe, that love shall conquer all, if we but perceive. So let not envy poison thy heart's desire, for in its wake, only ruins shall transpire. Seek love, not jealousy, as thy compass true, and may thy heart find peace, forever ensue.
