Two weights and two sizes... sent on May 22, 2019 (18:51) by Rodema. 64 comments, 752 views.

hand held.

La metafora basata sui due pesi che sintetizza, nella maggior parte dei riferimenti teologici, il diverso criterio usato nel dare e nel ricevere (o anche nel giudicare sé stessi e gli altri), ha senso solo se si considera lo strumento con il quale si facevano operazioni di pesatura, dall'antichità fino al secolo scorso, ovvero la bilancia a due bracci, più diffusa rispetto alla stadera composta da un solo braccio e piatto. Per pesare un oggetto, lo si poneva su un piatto mentre sull'altro piatto si mettevano dei gravi di metallo (pesi campione) di cui si sapeva esattamente il peso. Quando i due piatti della bilancia risultavano in equilibrio si contava il peso complessivo dei campioni, ottenendo così quello dell'oggetto. Usare due pesi significava usare, per un medesimo oggetto, una volta un campione leggero per vendere, una volta un campione pesante per comprare. La frode dei mercanti consisteva nell'indicare, ad esempio con 1 kg un campione che invece pesava realmente 700 grammi: così la merce in vendita che si pesava risultava più pesante e il compratore pagava di più senza saperlo. D'altra parte se il mercante disonesto doveva acquistare dei prodotti usava un campione che pur indicando 1 kg ne pesava 1.200 così da acquistare più merce a minor prezzo. Il mercante così aveva due campioni che, sebbene indicassero 1 kg, avevano due pesi reali differenti. ---- Fonte: Accademia della Crusca. --- (Rod)

I think it's inherent in the human being, that of screwing the neighbor for personal benefits. Great the shot is the caption that accompanies it.

Beautiful black and white, embellished by the silhouette.
also great contrast, it's fine.
Maybe I would have reduced the black space in the foreground with a little crop, it seems too intrusive.
Congratulations!

Beautiful image and excellent explanation of a way of doing that surely is not to be followed, certainly is that even outside the purely commercial scope this bad way of acting is often used with ease, I think about politics but also in daily life....it is bad that unites us all....who more or less :-/
Many compliments and best wishes for your birthday dear Rod
A big hug
Pierpaolo ;-)
