We all have certain desires and undesired outcomes related to whatever possible course and attitude we take in life, whether it be at the larger macro scale {what shall I do with the rest of my life?} or at the micro level {as in, what route shall I take to work this morning}. These include all the myriad choices we make each hour and each day. These choices determine our karma and our destiny. It's no accident, nor any great mystery, how this evolves; although one would have to utterly omniscient to understand all the many gross and subtle interconnections and causative links that determine happenings and outcomes.

We face a variety of desires and outcomes that influence our paths, from significant life decisions to everyday choices. Every decision we make, whether it's regarding our careers or simple daily activities, contributes to our overall karma and shapes our destiny. Understanding the impact of these choices reveals the interconnectedness of our actions and the flow of our lives.

Ultimately, life's evolving nature is shaped by the choices we make continuously. While the complexity of these connections can be overwhelming, they highlight how our experiences and outcomes are not mere coincidences, but rather the result of many interconnected decisions and factors. This insight emphasizes the importance of mindfulness in our everyday choices.

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.
