A large bird, a buzzard perhaps, was circling on high on a current of air, a tiny, soaring point of black, looking for food, of course, as all of us did, in one way or another.

A buzzard soared high in the sky, gliding effortlessly on the wind while searching for food. This image encapsulates a theme of survival, highlighting the instinctual drive shared by all creatures, including humans. The buzzard's solitary hunt reflects a universal quest for sustenance, an endeavor we all undertake, albeit in different forms.

The scene serves as a metaphor for life, where each individual navigates their own challenges and pursuits. Just as the buzzard is a part of the natural cycle, so too are we all engaged in our personal journeys, striving to find our place and maintain our well-being amidst the vastness of existence.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
