I don't think a person is mature until he understands what a wonderful world he lives in and that a lifetime isn't long enough to get to know it.

In the book "Two Are Better Than One" by Carol Ryrie Brink, the author emphasizes the importance of maturity in understanding the beauty and complexity of the world. Maturity, in this context, is not just about age or experience, but about recognizing the wonders that surround us and appreciating life’s richness. This perspective invites readers to reflect on their personal growth and how they engage with their environment.

Brink suggests that true maturity comes from grasping the idea that our lifetime is limited, yet there is so much to discover and learn. This realization can inspire individuals to approach their lives with curiosity and a deep appreciation for the experiences available to them. Ultimately, her quote encourages a mindset that values exploration and connection with the world, aligning personal development with a commitment to lifelong learning.

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.
