| I don't know what your life is like, but when I'm faced with questions like that about my own life, I actually remember a quote from Iroh in Avatar the Last Airbender: "There is nothing wrong with a life of peace and prosperity."
| And you dont seem to understand
| Chop off your head if you don't die then it's fake but if you die you can't be sure
