It's from King Lear.
Ah yes no wonder it slipped past me. That's the only play I haven't read from Shakespeare.

It is in the final act and refers to the fact that often people say something in jest but are actually quite serious in what they say. The quote is specifically in reference to the manner in which court jesters often acted as both entertainers and advisers in that they could give the king rather blunt, realistic advice under the pretense of jest/joking.

Yes, that's Shakespeare's genius and subtly that he puts in references such as this. Now to hope that OP learns something from Shakespeare and move on. She's trying to do the reverse of "how to tame the shrew", how to tame the avara kutta...
Re: So Very Confused!
Guys like these deserve those witch like evil wives. He'll think about you one day when his evil wife is giving him hell and he can't get out of it. That's what guys get for ditching good mannered women.
Do you think guys like these ever think about the good women that they could have had?
I often wonder they would never know the value (qadr) of good women.

They don't, they don't even realize the qadr of a woman let alone a good woman. To them women are just mere objects. I've done lots of psychological studies on this issue. I've asked all of my "Player type" friends what they think of good women. All of their answer come out to be. "Live in the moment, I don't want an image of my mom". or "I don't want a sharif girl, its too weird". These type of guys look for themselves in the women they wanna meet. Someone as equally as bad as themselves. The sharif and morally good girl is a clash of personalities I think. I still haven't understood this mentality. If they do get married to a sharif girl at the end then it's after their long escapades with girls like themselves. But the truth is that guys like that exist and they absolutely don't care about a woman's moral character as long as they can get the sex they want and in the end their moms get them married to sharif girls and the cycle keeps on repeating. There is a huge gap which we've lost as a community towards the qadr of women. It's sad really but almost all my friends have had bad girlfriends in the past, some still have affairs and their wives treat them like gods.

^and in the case of breakup of these couples, I just don't like when people tell the girls to make them feel better; O he'll realise your worth now that your are not with him..umm no! He'll not realise that good girl's worth, not while she was with him and very doubtful now that she left him (could be a generalisation, some may, but I guess that's rare or maybe they realise when it's too late) because like you said 'live in the moment', if not this girl then someone else and it keeps on going. I could be wrong but this is mostly what I have seen/heard.

Perhaps it goes both ways. Some women want to be treated in a such a way. I treated a girl with respect and love for 3 years but turns out that it wasn't enough. She'd rather marry someone rich than to be with me. I guess in the end it comes down to superficiality. It's the way you show and present your self. In our community people hide their demons and white wash themselves with a false facade. Over time this facade breaks away and people learn to accept it because their social slaves. They've become dull and want to keep their existence in their social circles. Without their social parties and statures they're nothing. Since they're empty and hollow inside they cannot peek inside their own selves and take a good hard look at themselves. Women perhaps are conditioned to think this way. "Oh beyti he's rich he'll take care of you, he'll treat you like a princes". Perhaps OP is in the same mind set. Perhaps she has her own dreams of her knight in shinning armor no matter how evil or cunning he might be inside.
Perhaps we've outgrown our self respect and have adopted a life of estimation in the eyes of others. I sometimes wonder why people do the things they do and agree to live a life without meaning just to fit a certain criteria. Love and romance is a notion for books alone. The true meaning or marriage nowadays is procreation, everything else is a romantic farce.
