In this life, actually everyone has only one main task:
Find a dwelling place that will not easily lose heat, steadily obtain about 2000 kcal of energy every day, and then live safely.
Everything else: career, wealth, ideals, fame, emotions, desires, in a sense, are just side quests that you choose to embark on.
Only those who have truly witnessed war, famine, and turmoil will understand how difficult it is to complete this main task. Peace and stability are never taken for granted.
