So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Randy Alcorn's book "Seeing the Unseen" emphasizes the importance of focusing on the eternal rather than the temporary aspects of life. The quote highlights the distinction between what we can see with our physical eyes and the deeper, often invisible truths that hold lasting significance. In life, it can be easy to become distracted by immediate concerns and material possessions, which are fleeting. However, the author encourages readers to shift their perspective towards the lasting realities that shape our spiritual existence.

This eternal perspective serves as a guiding principle for making choices and finding hope amid life's challenges. By fixing our eyes on the unseen, we can cultivate a mindset that prioritizes spiritual growth and connection, knowing that the visible world is transient. Ultimately, Alcorn's message inspires readers to seek deeper meaning and purpose, reminding them that while physical circumstances may change, the truths of faith are constant and enduring.

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.
