We love this earth as a newborn loves its mother's heartbeat.If we sell you our land, care for it as we have cared for it.Hold in your mind the memory of the land as it is when you receive it.Preserve the land and the air and the rivers for your children's children and love it as we have loved it.

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.
