I am quite out of patience with him. Fiona Kincaid set her teacup on the small tray with a decided click. Dougal's been in a horrid temper since he arrived.I like him better this way, Fiona's handsome husband retorted. He barely said a word over breakfast.She gave an exasperated sigh. I'm surprised you two don't get along better, as you're very similar. Jack's flat stare made her add hastily, In things.In very things.

Fiona Kincaid expresses her frustration with her husband Dougal, who has been in a terrible mood since his arrival. As she sets her teacup down, it becomes clear that Dougal's temperament is affecting those around him, including her. Fiona's husband amusingly points out that he prefers Dougal's current state of grumpiness, noting the lack of conversation at breakfast as evidence of Dougal's mood.

Fiona seems surprised at the tension, remarking on the similarities between them and suggesting that they should get along better. She quickly clarifies that they share certain qualities, trying to diffuse the tension while highlighting the conflict in their personalities.

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.
