Women believe that men are, in a sense, defective versions of women, Men believe that women are defective versions of men. Both genders are trapped in adelusion that their personal viewpoints are universal. That viewpoint-that each gender is a defective version of theother-is the root of all misunderstandings.

In Scott Adams' "God's Debris," he presents a thought-provoking perspective on gender perceptions. Women tend to perceive men as flawed reflections of themselves, while men similarly view women as inferior adaptations. This viewpoint leads to a significant misunderstanding between the two genders, as each believes their perspective is the standard. This delusion reinforces a cycle of miscommunication and confusion in relationships.

The crux of the issue lies in the belief that the opposite gender's differences are indicative of a defect rather than a divergence in perspective. This notion of being "defective" blinds each gender to the value and complexity of the other, contributing to ongoing conflict and misunderstanding. Recognizing and overcoming this delusion could foster better communication and connection between men and women.

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.
