When people feel sorry for you and your identity, what that was, what do you choose to see? You're going to suffer at one time in your life. You're going to suffer as a child, or you're going to suffer as an adult. If you suffer and you see a lot as a child, you're going to learn to overcome things when you get older. Or you can have a really cake life. You can have a silver spoon and have a simple life, and then something very minimal is going to happen to you. You're going to suffer just as hard. You. You're going to blow it all up, and it's going to hit harder than most, but you're going to suffer because that's part of life. I suffered as a kid, so I don't suffer much as an adult.
