So books are real to me, too; they link me not just with other minds but with the vision of other minds, what those minds understand and see. I see their worlds as well as I see my own.

In Philip K. Dick's "The Transmigration of Timothy Archer," the author expresses a deep connection between readers and the worlds created by writers. He believes that books serve as a bridge to other minds, allowing us to engage not only with different perspectives but also with the unique visions that those minds bring to life. Through literature, readers can step into diverse realities, enriching their understanding of existence beyond their own experiences.

This exploration of thought and imagination highlights the powerful role that literature plays in broadening our worldview. By engaging with the insights and interpretations of others, readers can cultivate empathy and appreciation for the complexities of life. Dick emphasizes that the narratives within books are just as real and significant as our personal realities, creating a shared space for connection and discovery among individuals.

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.
