Survival and Relief

We are nature’s creation, so the most important thing we strive for every day is survival. The difference lies in how each creature survives.

Some humans have it hard from the beginning. They learn from their hardship, turn it into experience, and rely on that experience in their daily lives. Others have it easy from the beginning, lack that experience, and face hardship later.

Or things stay as they were: those who lived in hardship continue living in hardship, while those who lived peacefully continue living in peace.

But peace is still survival, with relief and without strain. Hardship is just survival—pure survival.
