Back in the sanctuary, the Reb concluded his taped message by saying, Please love one another, talk to one another, don't let trivialities dissolve friendships… Then he sang a simple tune, which translated to: Good-bye friends, good-bye friends, good-bye, good-bye, see you again, see you again, good-bye. The congregation, one last time, joined in. You could say it was the loudest prayer of his career. But I always knew he'd go out with a song.

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.
