It is possible to be unfaithful in
love, in work, and in friendship. It is possible to be unfaithful for fun,
for money, out of revenge, out of curiosity or weakness, or to get away
from the routine. There are also periods during the year where betrayals
increase as well as those done for specific reasons. In the fall, those
furtive looks of complicity are exchanged particulary to compensate states
of boredom, melancholy and depression. During the winter, a greater number
of betrayals are observed in the work environment, and in the spring,
people of a certain age seem to be more eager to experience while younger
ones are most often the object of this experience. And in the summer? Ah,
that special season, going out at night, the clothing being more daring,
the sense of freedom, the partner being far away, or being in different
places than usual... all of this contributes to "create temptations". It
has nothing to do with betrayals for sentimental reasons, they are rather
the result of amorous feelings. In these cases, it can be the pure
pleasure of conquest to increase collection items, or it can be a
search for answers to unconscious questions like "am I still attractive,
am I still capable of seducing someone"? There are so many extenuating
circumstances, and justifications....
When one is unfaithful, not only
is it painful for the other person, but there is no definite explanation
to what could have motivated us to do it. Finding out if we are still
attractive, if we are still in love with our partner, if we have some
worth at work, is better done by some introspection, by exchanging with
loved ones or experts. Otherwise, the alternative is to repeat the
experience again, looking for answers that will never come, whatever they
are. Let's find out if we prefer to be told "I like you" or "I trust
you".

EXPLANATIONS
FROM 45 TO 36
POINTS:
ENJOY TODAY...
...because tomorrow may
never come. You are the one who says this and you tend to justify every
action of yours because you are convinced you are worth more in the eyes
of others. But, have you asked yourself "worth in what sense"?
FROM 35 TO 25 POINTS:
THE IMPORTANT THING IS TRUST
You know that
problems can always occur, but you also know that they have to be dealt
with and, preferably, together. For you, the real achievement is to look
at yourself in the mirror and see a sincere and courageous person.
FROM 24 TO 15
POINTS:
A BIT OF
FLEXIBILITY
We all agree with principles and moral righteousness,
but let's not exaggerate. A quick and clever remark, a double-entendre, a
friendly relationship between colleagues are not mortal sins, they can
even lighten up the atmosphere without necessarily... turning words into
action!
HIPPOTHERAPY
The activity is still ongoing
and getting support from schools.
In the next issue, we will talk about
interesting and pleasant visits to schools "Leonardo da Vinci" and
"Pepoli-Rolandino".
