I believe Steinbeck's quote means= There's thought of action and there's the choice to commit to the action, if the thought of harming yourself comes about, maybe it shouldn't be performed. You're worth so much more that that in this world. We all matter, including yourself. With that in mind, be careful because you hurt so many if you knowingly bring harm to yourself. I thought about it for a while and that's what I believed he meant. I could be wrong. But it kinda sounded good to me.
