Being tough isn__ in and of itself a bad thing. Looking back on it, though, I can see I was too used to being strong, and never tried to understand those who were weak. I was too used to being fortunate, and didn__ try to understand those less fortunate. Too used to being healthy, and didn__ try to understand the pain of those who weren__. Whenever I saw a person in trouble, somebody paralyzed by events, I decided it was entirely his fault___e just wasn__ trying hard enough. People who complained were just plain lazy. My outlook on life was unshakable, and practical, but lacked any human warmth. And not a single person around me pointed this out.__ - Miu
