Being unheard is the ground floor of giving up, and giving up is the ground floor of doing yourself in. It's not so much, what's the point? It's more like, what's the difference?

The quote emphasizes the profound impact of feeling unheard in one's life, suggesting that such feelings can lead to a sense of hopelessness. When individuals feel that their voices and experiences are disregarded, it can create a downward spiral of despair, culminating in a desire to give up altogether. This highlights the importance of being acknowledged and valued, as it plays a crucial role in maintaining mental and emotional health.

The distinction between questioning the point of existence and contemplating the difference it makes reveals a deeper sense of defeat. It suggests that when people reach the state of feeling irrelevant, they not only struggle to find motivation but also wrestle with a loss of purpose. Ultimately, the quote serves as a reminder of the vital need for connection and understanding in order to foster resilience and hope.

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.
