    我們的教育瀰漫著愛人如己的觀念,但往往是以激烈、絕對的方式來灌輸,完全消除了自發性。許多人成為「好人」,並不是學習與他人建立良好的相互關係,而是無法在必要時保護自己,因為害怕而無法拒絕別人的要求。因此,他們的「好」是強迫性的,會立刻做出讓自己怨恨自己的行為,一連串的行動完全是強迫自己去做的(有的情形是強迫自己不去做),只因為他們無法拒絕或反駁任何人,即使有多麼正確、合理的理由,也做不到。

It came from the spot in my skull that feels the burning need to unravel puzzles, finish crosswords, indulge in Internet games, and read all the mystery books I can get my grubby little paws on. Like it or not, need it or not, and want it or not, I can't leave a good mystery alone.

    This is exactly the point we were trying to make. What's the rush? Just give her a chance. Medical science is not that certain. We would hope the whole process will slow down, and everyone will step back and end the compulsion to end her life.
