Self destruction has always stood as . way out to men and women whoss moral fibre has not been able to withstand the pressu-s of life.

 We no more escape from exist ence when we die than when we emigFate. We change our sur roundings, not ourselves, and in 70 far As our trouble is intimately associated with our own dsfeets, our faults of character. our weak ness or our cknging vice, we shall find on arrival sat the other side that sh these things are still with us. that we must suffer punishment beyond what we had anticipated. and carry on an existence intensj. fied by the bangs of helpless re. morSe.
 ~Oblivion is inaccessible. You cannot attain 1t; 1t ia selfish as well as futile to wish for 1t. The con sequences of your acts remain: why should you alone escape them! h the effort to attain the impossible you are eouYting disaster ed pinging yourself Into aGonies of rednorse.
