When you have unlimited time, nothing is special anymore. Without loss or sacrifice, we fail to appreciate what we have.

In "The Time Keeper," Mitch Albom explores the concept of time and its value in our lives. The author suggests that when time is perceived as limitless, we tend to take everything for granted. Without the constraints of time, the importance of moments diminishes as we fail to recognize their significance. This perspective urges us to cherish our experiences and the people around us, as the fleeting nature of time is what gives them value.

Albom emphasizes that loss and sacrifice are intrinsic to appreciating life. When we face the reality of limited time, we become more aware of what truly matters. Each moment becomes precious, leading us to prioritize our relationships and experiences. The quote poignantly reminds us that it is only through understanding the finite nature of time that we can cultivate gratitude and remain grounded in our lives.

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.
