Life is not fair to the kindest or toughest.
It demands payment for every choice, every scrap of power.
All that matters is whether one is willing or able to pay the price without losing oneself.
Challenges aren’t thrown out to reward goodness and hard work, nor are they given to punish cruelty.
They exist to test, to break, to strip people of their dignity down to their most vulnerable.
Life doesn’t care how kind one’s heart is or how hard one works; it will not grow easier for them.
If the price for living according to one’s own choice and free will is to be cast aside alongside others, prepare to be so.
