Africa will get nowhere until we have mechanics... Mechanics are the first stone in the building. Then there are other people on top. Doctors. Nurses. Teachers. But the whole thing is built on mechanics. That is why it is important to teach young people to be mechanics.

The quote emphasizes the foundational role mechanics play in the development of society. It suggests that while various professions like doctors, nurses, and teachers are essential, they cannot function effectively without the support of skilled mechanics. This perspective underlines the importance of practical skills in building a strong community and highlights the need for a focus on technical education.

By encouraging young people to pursue careers in mechanics, societies can ensure a stable infrastructure upon which other professions depend. This approach not only promotes economic growth but also contributes to the overall well-being of the community, indicating that investing in technical skills is a crucial step toward progress.

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.
