Me.

The Truth of Matters.

Why? Why is this?
Think'st thou, I 'ld make a life of jealousy;
To follow still the changes of the Moon
With fresh suspicions? No: to be once in doubt,
Is once to be resolv'd: exchange me for a goat,
When I shall turn the business of my soul
To such exsufflicate, and blown surmises,
Matching thy inference. 'Tis not to make me jealous,
To say my wife is fair, feeds well, loves company,
Is free of speech, sings, plays, and dances:
Where virtue is, these are more virtuous.
Nor from mine own weak merits, will I draw
The smallest fear, or doubt of her revolt,
For she had eyes, and chose me. No Iago,
I'll see before I doubt; when I doubt, prove;
And on the proof, there is no more but this,
Away at once with love, or jealousy.

- Othello, Act three, scene three, a play by William Shakespeare -

Ah, Othello. If only I had such wit and rationale as you possess; if only your patience were my own. To have these virtues, and to hold my own against the whispers of demons akin to Iago... I would be a better man.

A much better man.
