Armenian parable A man had the habit of visiting his mistress every evening for twenty years and spending time there talking and playing cards. And so, when his legal wife died, his friends and relatives advised him:
- We all know you. It would be better if you married her and brought her to your house. Remember the wise words of our ancestors: “There is no evil without good.”
The man disagreed with his relatives and friends:
- No, no, this won’t happen. How can I break my twenty-year habit? If I bring her to my house, where should I go in the evenings, where should I spend time, who should I talk to, who should I tell about my problems?
