Today that you have lived in vain is the tomorrow that a person who died yesterday truly wanted to live. - Sophocles, Greek dramatist

On my business trip,

I stopped by the public restroom.
On the wall of the restroom, there was a frame with a wise saying
I looked closely at it because I thought there would be a good lesson.
But it's been a famous saying since long ago.

Today that you have lived in vain is the tomorrow that a person who died yesterday truly wanted to live. - Sophocles, Greek dramatist

The quote gave me a little nerves.

The logic of this quote shares the following views

"Look at the refugees in Africa. You are very happy compared to them"

"How many people live harder than you do!"

So, the quote is sensationalistic rhetoric

There is an absurd logic in our society that my happiness is determined by the state of others.

If I'm in pain, it's just hard. It is.

When you comfort someone, don't compare them to others.

If he says it's hard, it's just as hard as it is.

And, if the other person is lazy, we should respect that person because it is also his choice.

I remember that Korean comedian Yoo Byung-jae said

If you are in pain, you should go to the hospital because you are a patient, not the growing. - Yoo Byung-jae, Korean comedian
(feat. "Painful is the growing." - Kim Nan-do, Professor)
