Beware the Ides of March

BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH!!! So I was looking up some stuff about this day earlier. In todays time the Ides of March is seen with a sense of foreboading and dread because of the play Julius Ceasar, but apparently in Ceaser's time Ides was just a way of saying the 15 of the month. I think it was for months march, may and some other ones. But I cant remember and I dont feel like relooking it up. So in the play the soothsayer told Ceasar to beware the ides of March. As Im sure you know Ceasar was killed on the 15th of March. What is so interesting about this is the fact that Ceasar was LITERALY stabbed in the back by his best friend. So I have this view that you should beware the fruit borne on the Ides of March also. Whether it is literaly or figurativly begin stabbed in the back by a best friend is one of the worst feelings and offenses that can happen to a body. So Et tu Brute? At least when Brutus stabbed Ceasar he throught he was doing it for the better good and later had the decency to fall on his own sword. Brutus thought he was working for the better good unlike those who cant follow a conversation or think beyond the tips of their own noses. But I guess Brutus was kinda like this also. He was mislead by others. But the whole time he was thinking about people other than himself. He was not self serving in anyway. He ended a life time friendship over miscommunication. Sounds familar.

So I say again. Et tu Brute? Et tu old friend?

Tata lol
