Florentino Ariza wrote everything with so much passion that even official documents seem to be about love. His bills of lading were rhymed no matter how he tried to avoid it, and routine business letters had a lyrical spirit that diminished their authority.

Florentino Ariza's writing is characterized by an intense passion that infuses even the most mundane official documents with a sense of romance. His attempts to keep his communication professional are undermined by a poetic quality that pervades his work, transforming straightforward business transactions into reflections of love.

This ability to convey deep emotions through seemingly ordinary correspondence reveals Florentino's profound connection to love. His lyrical approach, evident in forms such as bills of lading and routine letters, highlights how his sentiments blur the lines between personal expression and business, ultimately diminishing the formality typically expected in such documents.

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.

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.
