Usually, when we have bad intentions, the outcome will eventually bite us back. You cannot pretend forever that you are different than in reality. Do you keep appearances just to save the marriage, work or your personal life? Do you hide behind the veil of enthusiasm, desire or interests that are not entirely yours? Temptations lead us to disasters or turn our lives upside down. What would you do if you wanted to keep the romance alive and make your husband awarded for his years of devotion? What would you do if you were an artist but desperately needed money? What would you do if pregnant but abandoned by your lover? In historic Amsterdam, there was a flower bud which theoretically allowed for everything, just as a lottery prize shifted some from rags to riches. But can you pretend forever? Tulip Fever.
