The quote from Mitch Albom's "The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto" emphasizes the idea that true impact comes not from overpowering noise, but from creating a sense of peace and tranquility around us. Francisco's realization points to the importance of subtlety in communication and artistry, suggesting that a quieter world allows for deeper connections and understanding. By focusing on making the world quieter, one can highlight the beauty of music and the messages it carries.

This perspective challenges conventional views on success and influence. Instead of striving for volume and dominance, it encourages individuals to seek harmony and serenity. By turning down the noise, whether literal or metaphorical, we can appreciate the nuances of life, art, and relationships. Albom's message serves as a reminder that sometimes, less is more when it comes to making a meaningful impact in the world.

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.
