Is this what happened to the dinosaurs? Is this the true cause of their disappearance? We may never know. But it is no accident that human beings are so interested in dinosaur extinction. The decline of the dinosaurs allowed mammals - including us - to flourish. And that leads us to wonder whether the disappearance of the dinosaur is going to be repeated, sooner or later, by us as well. Whether at the deepest level the fault lies not in blind fate - in some fiery meteor from the skies - but in our own behavior.

The mystery surrounding the extinction of the dinosaurs continues to fascinate humans, as it permitted the rise of mammals, including our own species. The interest in this catastrophic event reflects deeper concerns about our own future. Are we at risk of facing a similar fate, driven not by random cosmic events, but by our own actions and behaviors?

This contemplation provokes a profound question about the relationship between species and their environments. The extinction of the dinosaurs serves as a reminder that our survival is intertwined with the health of our planet, urging us to consider the consequences of our actions before we too face extinction.

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.
