Doesn't he own a shirt? I asked, grabbing a spade. Unfortunately, I don't think so. Not even in the winter. He's always running around half-dressed. She groaned. Its disturbing that I have to see so much of his…skin. Yuck. Yuck for her. And hot damn for me.

In the passage, the speaker expresses surprise at someone not owning a shirt, implying this person often appears undressed, even in colder weather. The speaker’s reaction touches on discomfort, highlighting how unsettling it is for one character to frequently witness so much of this person’s skin. This reaction indicates a strong sense of judgment and distaste coming from the observer.

On the flip side, the speaker acknowledges a different perspective, noting a sense of attraction and appreciation for the same display of skin. This dual response reveals the complexities of human attraction, where one character finds it unappealing while another is quite captivated. It illustrates the contrasting feelings people can have towards the same person or behavior.

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.
