- The wind is also eternal. It never ends. When the wind enters our body, we are born, and when it leaves, it is because we die, so we have to be friends with the wind. - And... this... - You don't even know what to ask anymore. You better keep quiet, don't waste your saliva. Saiva is sacred water that the heart creates. Saliva must not be wasted on useless words because then we will be wasting the water of the gods and look, I'm going to tell you something that you must not forget: if words do not serve to moisten others' memories and cause the memory to flourish there memory of God, are of no use.

The wind symbolizes the cycle of life, representing both our birth and our death. It is described as an eternal force that connects us to the world around us. Embracing the wind means acknowledging its significance and finding harmony with it throughout our lives.

Additionally, the passage emphasizes the value of words. Speaking is a sacred act, akin to creating life-giving water, and should not be wasted on meaningless chatter. True communication should foster memories and connections that honor the divine, rather than diluting the essence of our expression with trivialities.

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.
