This kind of tenacious vitality is moving. In comparison, we, who are living in a peaceful age, have more so-called pain than moaning.

It's human nature to be greedy, what you have now is never enough, and you want more. When you have a lot, you are sensitive and fragile, afraid of losing, and can't bear the setbacks in life.
