With every breath, the old moment is lost; a new moment arrives. We exhale and we let go of the old moment. It is lost to us. In doing so, we let go of the person we used to be. We inhale and breathe in the moment that is becoming. In doing so, we welcome the person we are becoming. We repeat the process. This is meditation. This is renewal. This is life.

The quote emphasizes the continuous flow of moments in life, highlighting how each breath signifies a transition from the past to the present. With every exhale, we release what has been, thereby letting go of our former selves. This act of releasing is essential for personal growth and allows us to move forward.

As we inhale, we embrace the present and welcome the person we are evolving into. This cyclical process of letting go and accepting renewal reflects the essence of meditation and life itself. Through this practice, we can experience transformation and liberation, becoming more attuned to our current existence while transforming into who we aspire to be.

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.
