The quote "Wrong turns teach us the right way" from David Mitchell's "The Bone Clocks" captures the essence of learning through mistakes. This idea suggests that missteps in life can serve as valuable lessons, guiding us toward better choices in the future. Instead of viewing errors as purely negative experiences, they can be recognized as important opportunities for growth and personal development.

In "The Bone Clocks," Mitchell explores the complexities of life, where characters navigate their paths, often encountering unexpected detours. These wrong turns contribute to their understanding of themselves and the world around them, emphasizing that the journey itself, with all its ups and downs, is integral to achieving clarity and purpose. Each misstep ultimately shapes a more informed and resilient individual.

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.
