The room was very quiet. I walked over to the TV set and turned it on to a dead channel-white noise at maximum decibels, a fine sound for sleeping, a powerful continuous hiss to drown out everything strange.

The atmosphere in the room was filled with silence, creating a sense of stillness. To disrupt this quiet and mask any unsettling thoughts, I approached the television and switched it on to an inactive channel, producing a loud white noise. This constant sound was not only helpful for blocking out any distractions but also like a sound blanket that could facilitate sleep.

In "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," Hunter S. Thompson captures the essence of using noise as a refuge from reality. The white noise serves as a means to shield oneself from the strange occurrences and chaotic thoughts that may arise during a turbulent journey, reinforcing the desire for peace amidst the surrounding madness.

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.

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.
