Joy has one day, which cannot be repeated no matter how many times it is repeated. It was created by the Most Gracious, not by humans, and for the sake of the highest purpose, which is the extension of existence. Marriage is obedience and love is worship. If one of them strays from its path, he will go astray forever. On this day, life records one of its victories. Wonderful, let us congratulate the newlyweds, and let us commemorate the masters of their noble family, Adam and Eve, who repelled our world with disobedience and raised it with forgiveness, and Let us pray to God to grant us victory over Satan, the old enemy of the family, who never stops seeking revenge, and may he reward you with pleasures. The first story in the False Dawn collection

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.
