will share a secret: this is how talents are bestowed. Before newborns open their eyes, we circle them, appearing as brilliant colors, and when they clench their tiny hands for the first time, they are actually grabbing the colors they find most appealing. Those talents are with them for life. The lucky ones {well, in my opinion, the lucky ones} choose me. Music.

The passage reveals the enchanting idea that talents are granted to individuals even before they are born. It suggests that as newborns enter the world, vibrant colors surround them, symbolizing the myriad of potential gifts available. When they instinctively grasp with their tiny hands, they unknowingly choose their lifelong talents, reflecting the innate connection each person has with their unique abilities.

The narrator expresses a personal belief that those who are fortunate will find their way to certain talents, particularly in the realm of music. This intimate relationship between a person's essence and their innate gifts underscores a deeper, almost mystical role in shaping their future, as illustrated in "The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto" by Mitch Albom.

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.
