Ten life lessons from differential equations:
Some problems simply have no solution.
Some problems have no simple solution.
Some problems have many solutions.
Determining that a solution exists may be half the work of finding it.
Solutions that work well locally may blow up when extended too far.
Boundary conditions are the hard part.
Something that starts out as a good solution may become a very bad solution.
You can fool yourself by constructing a solution where one doesn’t exist.
Expand your possibilities to find a solution, then reduce them to see how good the solution is.
You can sometimes do what sounds impossible by reframing your problem.

This prayer, also called the Possibly Proper Death Litany, is uttered to shrive a man about to commit suicide for money (given to his family).
Insofar as I may be heard by anything, which may or may not care what I say, I ask, if it matters, that you be forgiven for anything you may have done or failed to do which requires forgiveness. Conversely, if not forgiveness but something else may be required to ensure any possible benefit for which you may be eligible after the destruction of your body, I ask that this, whatever it may be, be granted or withheld, as the case may be, in such a manner as to insure your receiving said benefit. I ask this in my capacity as your elected intermediary between yourself and that which may not be yourself, but which may have an interest in the matter of your receiving as much as it is possible for you to receive of this thing, and which may in some way be influenced by this ceremony. Amen.
