Envelope #8

The mandarin is dead. Peace and prosperity have come to the world. One of the things responsible for this is that depressed or mentally sick people are no longer allowed to live. They are thought to mess up society. Suicide is also encouraged. People feel that anyone who really wants to die is probably no good to society.

 

 

Food for thought...

If the end justifies the means in your situation, why can't it be the same for everyone?  The danger with thinking on a small scale is that we forget what happens when our actions are amplified.  It can be easy to look at someone who is old, or in pain, who claims that they do not want to live, and say "Fine. It makes sense. If they don't want to live any more, they shouldn't have to."  But we should ask ourselves "What would happen if someone else did this to me?"   Has there ever been a time in your life when you didn't want to go on living?  These are not uncommon feelings... and that is why we need to help one another.  One of our goals should be to make the lives of those around us more enjoyable and comfortable.
