We move through places every day that would never have been if not for those who came before us. Our workplaces, where we spend so much time--we often think they began with our arrival. That's not true.
by Mitch Albom
(0 Reviews)

In our daily lives, we traverse spaces that have been shaped by the contributions of those who preceded us. Every workplace we occupy carries a history and is built on the foundations laid by others, reminding us that we are not the starting point of these environments. This realization encourages us to appreciate the legacy of individuals who have shaped our experiences, even if we often overlook their influence.

Mitch Albom, in his book "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," emphasizes the importance of recognizing the past. Our existence within these shared spaces is a continuation of a journey that began long before we arrived. Acknowledging this interconnectedness can foster a deeper sense of gratitude and understanding for the roles played by those who came before us, ultimately enriching our own experiences.

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.
