"Knowing that the end is near is one thing," I added, trying to navigate a tactful course over the shoals, "but believing it is quite another. Tossing one's entire life overboard to start from scratch in a foreign land may be a heroic act but it is totally reckless. Not many are capable of it. Where do you turn when you feel trapped and caught in a vise, when there is no exit and the house is on fire, an your window is on the fifth floor, so that plunging isn't really an option? There is no other bank. Some peple choose to take their own lives. Most, however, prefer to wear blinkers and life off hope."
