Now that's discrimination-when you look down your nose at the very men who fought to make sure you could still go to work in your tidy, warm office. That's the trouble with people-they cherish their comforts, but they don't want to know where they come from.

The quote emphasizes the disconnect between those who enjoy the comforts of a stable job and the sacrifices made by others to secure those very privileges. It highlights a tendency in people to overlook the contributions of workers, often taking their labor for granted, while they themselves remain in comfortable positions. This disconnect can lead to a form of discrimination where individuals undervalue the importance of those who toil to sustain their lifestyles.

The sentiment reflects a broader critique of societal attitudes towards labor and the workers who support various industries. The author points out that many individuals are quick to enjoy their comforts without acknowledging the hard work and struggles that allow for such a lifestyle. This notion serves as a reminder that one should be mindful of and grateful for the sacrifices made by others to ensure personal comfort and stability.

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.
