So many people say they lacked a childhood and envy others, but none of them had it as bad as Ling'er.
But then again, the world is so vast, there's always someone worse off than yourself, and such comparisons aren't right, either.
Chen Mo felt that he should look forward, constantly complaining about the past is too uninteresting.
"I did encounter someone of a similar status to you in Luocheng."
"That must've been a low-grade version, I'm high-end."
"It was tough before, wasn't it?"
"Actually, without comparison, you don't feel it's tough. There are plenty of people who had it tougher than me."
That's true, just surviving the battles back then was reason enough to be thankful to heaven. Later on, to solve the problem of getting enough to eat, people were willing to do any tiresome work, and even later, no one was willing to do the dirty and exhausting jobs anymore and still complained about getting little money.
So, life is relative, only comparing with those around you.
