If you want something from someone, make it clear what. It's not imposing to ask explicitly for something; it's imposing to be vague and make the recipient work to figure out what you want.
one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"
Ecclesiastes 9:10
"You need to make yourself a big target for luck, and the way to do that is to be curious. Try lots of things, meet lots of people, read lots of books, ask lots of questions."
— Paul Graham, How to Do Great Work

I have never seen an animal commit suicide.
I find it interesting that animals, especially apex predators, don't appear to conceptualize “hopelessness” the way humans do.
Even at the brink of death, they fight, bite, claw, and persist without turning their suffering into despair.
Sending good energy your way. That you'll have the strength to overcome what ails you. The tenacity to achieve what you dream of. The inner calm to forgive those who have wronged you. The strength to be kind to others. And the insanity to dream without care of what others say.
