I took the stool next to him, raising an eyebrow at the coffee and cruller on the counter. Thought you weren't into internal pollution, I said. Lately Ranger'd been on a health food thing.Props, Ranger told me. Didn't want to look out of place.I didn't want to burst his fantasy bubble, but the only time Ranger wouldn't look out of place would be standing in a lineup between Rambo and Batman.

The scene portrays a character's interaction with Ranger, who seems to be trying to maintain a facade of healthy living while indulging in coffee and pastries. The narrator teasingly questions Ranger's choice, recalling that he has been on a health kick lately. This introduction highlights the contrast between Ranger's self-imposed standards and his actual behavior, suggesting that appearances can be deceptive.

The narrator also reflects on Ranger's overall persona, humorously suggesting that he would only look out of place among iconic tough characters like Rambo and Batman. This observation underscores the idea that Ranger, despite his attempts to conform to a health-conscious lifestyle, remains an extraordinary figure whose presence is larger than life. The exchange is both light-hearted and revealing, offering insights into the characters' dynamics.

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.

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.
