He is a good man, but even a good man can fall for a glamorous woman. That is well known. That is very well known, agreed Mma Ramotswe. Look at Adam. Look how he fell for Eve. Just because she had no clothes on, he fell for her, said Mma Makutsi. That sometimes helps, said Mma Ramotswe.

In "Tea Time for the Traditionally Built," the conversation reflects on the vulnerability of even the best men when faced with temptation, particularly from attractive women. Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi discuss how this phenomenon is not only common but historically acknowledged, citing the biblical example of Adam and Eve to illustrate their point. The allure of beauty can lead even a virtuous individual astray.

This discourse reveals a deeper understanding of human nature. Mma Ramotswe humorously acknowledges that physical appeal can influence decisions, suggesting that looking beyond the surface is essential for a meaningful connection. Their exchange underscores the complexities of love and attraction in relationships.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
