Chapter 1009 Always Believe in a Saying
Director Qu stared blankly at Suizi.
Suizi took the thermos from her hand and poured her a slightly hot cup of water.
"A hemp rope tends to break at its thinnest points, but thickness and thinness are all relative. You think my rope is thick, but in the eyes of others, my rope could snap at any moment too. So, when fate is ordained by the heavens, they still leave us a bit of agency."
"Agency?"
"That’s struggle. You can vividly imagine, it’s like thickening the easily breakable part of your hemp rope, or repairing the path that’s already been severed. Everyone has narrow paths in life to tread, but some choose to lie down and spend their entire lives resenting their poor start, letting brief lifetimes pass in resentment. Why not pack away the bitterness and make the path before you a little broader?"
