Stop that! What were you doing, perched on the window ledge like a big chicken?Despite his aches and irritations, he couldn't help but grin. I prefer to think of myself as a more noble bird, like a hawk.I'm sure you do. But you flew like a chicken than any hawk I've seen.

In a lighthearted exchange, one character gently mocks another for their precarious position on a window ledge, comparing their behavior to that of a clumsy chicken. Despite feeling sore and annoyed, the other character can't resist smiling and defends himself by claiming to embody the grace of a hawk rather than a chicken.

This playful banter highlights the dynamic between the characters, showcasing their ability to tease each other while maintaining a sense of camaraderie. The humorous comparison underscores themes of perception and self-image, revealing how individuals often view themselves in a more favorable light than how they are perceived by others.

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.
