Therefore, God wants someone to shoulder the heavy responsibility. First of all, he should make his heart miserable, make his bones and muscles tired, and starve him, so that his skin will be emaciated, make him poor, and turn things upside down, which is always unsatisfactory. Through these, his heart will be alert, his character will be firm and his talent will increase.

Fish is what I want; Bear's paw is also what I want; But these two things can't be obtained at the same time, so I give up fish and want bear's paw. Life is what I want; Justice is what I want. But these two things can't be obtained at the same time, so give up life and choose justice.
