Future and past blurred; what he had already experienced and what he would eventually experience blended so that nothing remained but the moment.

This blurring of time emphasizes the importance of living in the moment, suggesting that reality is shaped by our perceptions rather than strictly by chronological order. The phrase encapsulates a richly layered understanding of existence, promoting a reflection on how one's past and future inform their current experience in a world where the line between human and artificial blurs.

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.
