Dear Jacobus:
Don’t beg, Jacobus. If someone is in front of you, pointing a deadly weapon at you, or at someone else, and you cannot fight that person, then beg.
But begging a woman who is across the world from you is giving up your basic, minimal dignity as a human being.
Don’t beg, Jacobus, don’t beg anyone. You are embarrassing yourself when you do that, and you embarrass me, as a fellow human being.
