17. What is the best -- or worst -- advice you have ever received?
Funnily enough, the best advice that I have ever received, looking back upon it, was also the worst advice I ever received. It is just the nature of the family, I suppose.
This advice, this wisdom of the Giovanni, as well as our folly, can be summed up in one sentence.
Everyone but us is stupid.
It is mostly true. However, there have been a few who have given us some trouble over the centuries. Now, whether we underestimated them or overestimated ourselves, who can say for certain, but there you have it. Generally, however, most everyone but us is stupid.
It is lonely to sit at the Giovanni table. But it is a tolerable loneliness.
warnings: none
