Today I had afternoon tea with my sister, and wow, we directly entered 'the mode of comparing miseries'!

We sighed together, venting about this year's bad luck in finance—I've been floundering in the cryptocurrency world, and instead of my wallet getting plump, it has shrunk to the point of being a 'walking chives', so miserable!

She immediately chimed in: 'Sister, I understand you! My little shop is the same, customers are sparse, inventory is piling up, and my heart is bleeding!

But the way we are losing money is just too different! I, on the other hand, am cozy in an air-conditioned room, sipping coffee while my money 'elegantly' flies away.

As for her? That's a real 'human experience'! Waking up earlier than the roosters, stressing out to hold events, working like a dog all day, and what’s the result? Still losing money! This comparison is just too heart-wrenching!

It's simply 'Buddhist-style loss' vs 'hardworking loss'! We exchanged glances and almost burst into tears—has even being a losing 'worker' become this competitive now?
