This kind of sounds like The Fourth Turning Theory playing out in real time.
 
Easy choices, hard life
Hard choices, easy life
 
Sometimes it's the system we found ourselves that create the so-called “hard times,” not just people being weak. You could be strong and the situation you found yourself could make you weak. So we should not oversimplify it because in reality, things are more complicated than those lines.
 
This is the circle of life, and it will continue like this for decades to come.

But on a serious note, its scary how many people dump the thinking part to AI. I have seen countless people just rely on AI at work even for basic emails sometimes. 👀

Exactly. Just something to start the thinkering going here. Let's not just talk about anime, but also things that have deep impact communities as awhole

It has been continuing like that since the history of nations colliding together.
I won't lie, whilst writing story for my game dev project, I'd seek help from AI to adjust my story how it fits, and then buff up with my own knowledge

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.

Simply put, everything works in a circle to balance the scale of what we normally talk about "cause and effect".

Nothing goes for nothing is how I love to put it.

That's the brutal poetry of being human, isn't it? Endless suffering that grinds you down, and a joy that refuses to break or bend no matter what.
