This quote highlights the subtle dynamics of decision-making in relationships between men and women. It suggests that while women often hold the power to make crucial decisions, they allow men to perceive that they are in control. This act of kindness represents a deeper understanding of social dynamics and the importance of harmony in interactions. It emphasizes the influence women can wield, often behind the scenes, to maintain peace and cooperation.

Moreover, the quote reflects a broader commentary on gender roles and perceptions. It underlines how societal norms may lead to a façade where men's authority is recognized, even when the reality is different. This nuanced approach to decision-making reveals the complexities of gender relationships, where women navigate these spaces with tact and consideration for others' feelings. It invites reflection on how power can manifest in supportive and strategic ways.

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.
