When you still have complaints, it actually reflects that life isn't so tough yet. In truly difficult times, pain is silent; there is no strength or voice to shout out, only gratitude for the slightest bit of beauty that occasionally appears! Looking at the Three Kingdoms, in such a chaotic and desperate time where the people are barely surviving, the desire to complain has already been worn away. Those who are doing well eat meat and drink wine heartily, as every day is a life-and-death struggle, and no one knows how long they can survive. Just like a person who has been starving for many days, all that exists is despair and silence; there will definitely not be any complaints. When suddenly given a bun—even if it is a hard, cold bun—his chest will swell with gratitude, rather than saying, 'Hey, why did you give me a cold bun?'
