Perhaps her shoes would say something; Mma Makutsi had told her once, jokingly- and she have been joking- told her that her shoes occasionally gave her advice. Well, perhaps they could tell her not to be so bossy. They must have witnessed it after all- shoes see everything; there are no secrets we can keep from our shoes.

In "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency," there is a humorous reflection on the shoes of the protagonist, which Mma Makutsi jokingly suggested could offer guidance. This light-hearted notion emphasizes the idea that even inanimate objects, like shoes, can serve as silent witnesses to our behavior and decisions. The protagonist muses that her shoes might provide her with advice on her tendency to be bossy, hinting at her self-awareness and desire for improvement. The concept of shoes as observers adds a whimsical layer to the narrative. It suggests that they have a unique perspective on her life, as they accompany her through various experiences. The playful suggestion that shoes know all her secrets reinforces the theme of introspection, encouraging readers to consider how our actions are perceived by those around us, even if they are as seemingly trivial as footwear.

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.
