a proverb
Eating as well as having sex becomes only a pain after it has satisfied us. Suffering from illness occasionally serves as a trigger to make a family have a strong bond. A person who makes a fortune in his lifetime has a strong anxiety about even a slight loss of property. In this way, there is only a fine line between fortune and misfortune. They easily alternate. Whether or not we take a cold look like this decides on how our life is in a deeper place than expected. The proverb is based on "the Records of the Grand Historian" by Sima Qian.
