I'm thinking if someone tells me my life's in danger, I'm paying attention. Might have turned out better for Julius Caesar if he had listened.

I loved studying Shakespeare back in the day. I can't think of many women who didn't adore and weep buckets over Romeo and Juliet. Written around 1595 by William Shakespeare, there has been at least 30 film versions of it. Love, deceit, tragedy, and some backstabbing make for a real page turner!

But for some real live backstabbing, we don't have to look any farther than another Shakespeare tragedy from just a few years later. Enotes.com gives a peek into the actual quote "Beware the Ides of March" from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. The warning is spoken by what was called a soothsayer back in the day. He had a vision that the Roman leader, Julius Caesar's, life was in danger, and he should probably stay home and be careful when March 15th, the Ides of March, rolled around. Time.com, gives us a look at the true history of the legendary story.

All I know is that if someone gets a vibe that I'm in trouble, I'm going to listen. Caesar didn't, and it got him stabbed - in the back - 23 times. And the phrase "backstabbing" was born. Legions of people have been making use of it ever since.
