He said, I always thought the woman I'd marry would hit me easy, in a bolt of lightning, and there is not lightning there is not even thunder there is not even rain.

The quote reflects a sense of disappointment in love, suggesting that the speaker had envisioned a profound and instantaneous connection with their future partner. They expected the romance to come with intensity and excitement, likening it to a sudden storm. However, the absence of such an experience indicates a stark contrast to their expectations, leading to feelings of longing for something more dramatic and meaningful.

This sentiment captures the struggle of seeking deep emotional connections, highlighting how reality can often fall short of our dreams. The imagery of lightning, thunder, and rain symbolizes passion and turmoil, which the speaker feels is missing in their current life. This resonates with the universal theme of unfulfilled desires and the quest for a significant bond in a seemingly mundane existence.

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.
