It's not just other people we need to forgive, Mitch, he finally whispered. We also need to forgive ourselves.Ourselves?Yes. For all the things we didn't do. All the things we should have done. You can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened. That doesn't help you when you get to where I am.

In "Tuesdays with Morrie," the author Mitch Albom captures a profound lesson on forgiveness that goes beyond just forgiving others. Morrie emphasizes the importance of also forgiving oneself. He suggests that individuals often carry burdens from their past, regretting things they did or didn’t do, which can hinder their ability to live fully in the present.

Morrie's wisdom encourages letting go of these regrets. He highlights that clinging to what might have been does not contribute positively to one’s life, especially when facing the end. True peace comes from acknowledging and forgiving both others and oneself for past actions and inactions, allowing for a more fulfilling 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.

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.
