It was reasonable enough, of course, for people to wish to speak to a man, if that is what they wanted, but that did not mean that a man would be better.

In "The Kalahari Typing School for Men" by Alexander McCall Smith, the text explores the idea that people's desire to speak with a man doesn't necessarily imply that their interaction will yield better outcomes. This perspective suggests that societal norms can lead individuals to mistakenly believe that masculine input is inherently more valuable. The quote highlights the complexity of gender dynamics in communication and decision-making. It encourages readers to question assumptions about gender roles and recognize that quality of dialogue isn't exclusively dependent on the gender of the speaker. This idea resonates with broader themes of equality and the importance of valuing all voices, regardless of gender identity.

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.
