Life is Tiring

"Life is tiring," a Chinese detainee repeats dejectedly. "I've been working for 13 years with nothing to show for. My ex-wife and kids cheated me of my money. Then my girlfriend cheated me of my money. Life is tiring."

"Why don't you try looking within instead of projecting your feelings on what others did to you?" I sense the need to give some hope. "You can still start over as long as you can still breathe. Money comes and goes, but you only have one life to live. Life is a miracle."
