Dor came from a time before the written word, a timewhen if you wished to speak with someone, you walked to see them. This time was different. The tools ofthis era-phones, computers-enabled people to move at a blurring pace. Yet despite all theyaccomplished, they were never at peace. They constantly checked their devices to see what time it was-the very thing Dor had tried to determine once with a stick, a stone, and a shadow.

Dor lived in an era where communication relied on face-to-face interactions, long before the existence of written language. This simpler time allowed for more direct connections, but it contrasted sharply with the fast-paced, technology-driven world that came after. In this modern age, people are constantly distracted by their phones and computers, racing through their tasks while seeking out information and connection through screens.

Despite the immense capabilities that technology provides, individuals remain in a state of unrest. They frequently check their devices for the time, illustrating a frantic need to manage their busy schedules, which Dor had once tried to measure using basic tools from nature. This reflects a deeper commentary on how progress and advancement, while offering convenience, often take away the peace and simplicity of the past.

Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.

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.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
