Suicide is stingy act, because no matter how wretched our life may currently be, a person can always rise tomorrow and perform some small act of kindness for other people, care for a pet, or perform some other caring act that works towards preserving nature's graciousness.

Ultimately, I've always let some ridiculous number on the bathroom scale tell me whether or not I should love myself."
