Don't ever walk through a door first again, okay? And don't argue with me about it or accuse me of being chauvinistic. I don't ever want to see you in that kind of pain again.

The quote emphasizes a protective sentiment, suggesting that the speaker wants to shield someone they care about from harm. It implies a sense of authority in the relationship, where the speaker believes their experience allows them to make decisions for the other's well-being. The phrase "don't ever walk through a door first again" indicates that the act of going through a doorway symbolizes a larger concern for safety and vulnerability.

Additionally, the speaker requests not to engage in arguments about this viewpoint, which could be seen as an attempt to avoid conflict and to assert the seriousness of their feelings. The reference to pain signifies a past experience that has deeply affected the speaker, illustrating a strong emotional bond and a desire to prevent similar suffering in the future. This statement reveals themes of protection, authority, and genuine care within personal relationships.

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.
