When you are born, you cried while the world rejoiced.Live your life in such a way that when you die the world cries while you rejoice.

The quote from Mitch Albom's "Tuesdays with Morrie" captures the profound contrast between our arrival into the world and our departure from it. When we are born, we bring joy and celebration to those around us, symbolizing hope and new beginnings. However, this sentiment shifts dramatically when we face death, a natural part of life. It invites reflection on how we lead our lives and the legacies we leave behind.

Albom encourages readers to live meaningfully, aiming for a life that touches others positively. The essence of the message is to inspire individuals to contribute to the world in such a way that their passing is deeply felt by those they leave behind, turning their own farewell into a moment of celebration. Ultimately, it’s about fostering connections, kindness, and impact throughout one’s lifetime.

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.
