Had he known his death was imminent, he might have gone somewhere else. Instead, he did what we all do. He went about his dull routine as if all the days in the world were still to come.

(0 Reviews)

In the narrative, the protagonist's mundane daily life reflects a common human tendency to overlook the fragility of existence. He continues his usual routine, unaware of the impending end, which leads to a poignant reflection on life and the choices we make. Such complacency can often blind us to the significant moments that define our experiences.

The author emphasizes the irony of living as if time is limitless, while in reality, every moment could be our last. If the character had known the truth, he might have taken different paths or made more meaningful connections. This serves as a reminder to cherish each day and recognize the importance of our actions and 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.

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.
