Who wins, you or the sony? The sony, I answered, or how would I ever improve? So winners, Hae-Joo proposed, are the real losers because they learn nothing? What, then, are losers? Winners?

The conversation explores the idea of winning and losing, positing that true winners might actually be those who lose. The character Hae-Joo suggests that if a person always wins, they may not have the incentive to learn or grow, leading to stagnation. Conversely, losing can provide valuable lessons and opportunities for improvement. This perspective challenges the conventional view of success and failure.

This dialogue raises intriguing questions about personal development through adversity. It implies that the experiences and hardships faced by those deemed as "losers" can foster growth and resilience, painting a more nuanced picture of what it means to succeed in life. Ultimately, it suggests that the journey of learning is more significant than merely accumulating victories.

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.

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.
