Human life is inherently filled with hardship, regardless of socioeconomic status. Those who have left their homes face particular struggles, but even the wealthy experience a different kind of toil – mental anguish. While physical labor may be less prevalent among the affluent, they often rely on tranquilizers and sleep aids to cope with stress. In contrast, a laborer, after eight hours of physical work, achieves natural, restorative sleep. True peace of mind and contentment are elusive, manifesting as either physical or mental strain for everyone.
