Well then, you'd be no match for this fellow who claims a Menosian IQ and alleges that he is the final word on matters of politics, faith, micro-chips, life and love ... all the while posing as a 22 y/o college student ... playing head games with women and men ... the problem is he thinks NO ONE has noticed this ... and he has said despicable things while claiming they were done in "humor." That's the best part ... finding out who's got the last laugh. He is exposed. Naked for all to see. Suddenly how insignificant he becomes. How transparent. Of course he'll immediately claim STALKING and with a twitching finger aim for the abuse button ... when it should be seen only as reporting ... like Fox News ... "We report, you decide." A search for the truth. The saddest part ... he is one of us. Therein lies the Faustian tragedy. Deals made with the devil.
The lesson ... caveat lector.
I would suggest that Faust was an idiot - in Marlowe's Dr. Faustus, the bargain was 24 years of pleasures (and the services of Mephistopheles) for an eternity in hell. Faustus did indeed twist himself into mental contortions to suggest this didn't matter, but in the end, he sold eternity for a brief fleeting pleasure.
Ergo, a Faustian bargain can indeed be called a "stupid" bargain. ;)
