Hearing Minos' bold speech, that elder closed his eyes to calm down but agreed with him. 'It is indeed the behavior of imbeciles that can lead to death... Only a fool would lust after a married woman.'
To this elder and many other experienced people in this world, one desiring a married woman was not only an indication of an extreme lack of morality but also of dumbness.
If the woman in question abandoned her husband for this third person, what guarantee would there be that she would not do the same to him in the future? That is, what made such a person special compared to others?
There would always be people better than you in this world if you were not number one in trillions. So the probability that someone better than you would come along and take this woman away from you the way you already did was not small!
