Read the following paragraph from "Forbidden Fruit." Many years have passed since. I have long been eating pork like everyone else, though perhaps this does not make me any happier. Still, at that time I realized that no principle justifies treachery, and besides, that treachery is always a hairy caterpillar bred of a small butterfly called envy, no matter how lofty the principles involved.

Regret.

Explanation:

The Russian short story "Forbidden Fruit" by Fazil Iskander tells the story of the young narrator fell upon the "forbidden fruit", which in his case, is eating pork. Though commanded by his religious dictates, the narrator finds himself in conflict with his knowledge of his sister's consumption of pork and the need to stay loyal to his religious belief, the need to gain favor from his parents.

In the given passage from the story, the narrator seems to regret his past action of betraying and revealing his sister's secret of "eating pork at Uncle Shura's house". No matter the treachery, he accepts that nothing can justify it the way he had done. And now that he's also taken to eating "pork like everyone else", it seems to convey no happiness in him, just regret at the insensitive and wrong way of dealing things.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
