So you love me, said Petra softly when the kiss ended.I'm a raging mass of hormones thet I'm too young to understand, said Bean. You're a female of a closely related species. According to all the best primatologists, I really have no choice.That's nice, she said...

In the conversation between Petra and Bean, Petra expresses her affection for Bean after sharing a kiss. Her gentle remark highlights a tender moment between them, reflecting her feelings of love. Bean, however, responds with a mix of confusion and biological reasoning, citing the hormonal changes typical of adolescence and their connection as members of closely related species. This illustrates his struggle to comprehend the emotions driving their budding relationship.

Despite Bean's intellectual approach, Petra's response is simple and sweet, capturing the innocence of young love. The exchange reveals both characters' perspectives on their feelings, with Bean's analytical view contrasting with Petra's straightforward emotional response. This moment shows their complex dynamic as they navigate the challenges of growing up and the unexpected nature of their feelings toward each other.

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.
