Do you know what the wind tastes like? {…} Mysterious spices {…} that tell us about people and events far away. That we can't see. But that we can sense if we draw the wind deep into our mouths and then eat it.

The quote reflects on the sensory experience of the wind, suggesting that it carries the flavors of distant places and events. It emphasizes the idea that even though we cannot physically see these locations or experiences, we can feel their presence and significance when we truly engage with the air around us. Drawing the wind deep into our mouths symbolizes a deeper understanding and connection to the world beyond our immediate surroundings.

This connection highlights the mysteries of life and the unseen stories that shape our human experience. Through tasting the wind, the quote invites us to explore how external elements influence our perceptions, emotions, and relationships with others, thus reminding us of the interconnectedness of all things. In essence, the wind serves as a conduit to far-off narratives that enrich our understanding 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.
