Some Thoughts

• Our life is meaningless, so why work hard to pursuing things that will be gone for sure. Instead of any endeavor, it is much easier to kill time with the help of current high-tech; and the society is helping human to live an easier life, right?
• And, for most circumstances, hard work will not pay off, it is impossible to break the tier between. You born poor, have less chance to learn things, maybe never know what the world (outside) looks like; or just live with your powerlessness, wait for the day ends come.
