- Alas! What are you even talking about! The mortal world is tiring, with tens of thousands of sorrows harassing your heart. Everyone competes for their fame and wealth just like a flying moth hurtling into the candlelight. Their sorrows win which bleaches their hair; their spirits lose which weakens their bodies. Within their tiny, agitated hearts, they envy and hate each other, making them fiercer than beasts.
- eventful
