It was a cool night.
I and Robert were in the yard. He laid on the ground and I sat on a chair. Once in a while, he sighed.
“What's the matter?” I asked.
“Nothing,” he said.
“If there is nothing, why did you sigh?”
“Pitiful.”
“You?”
“No, you!”
I opened my eyes, “Why am I pitiful?”
“You work very hard. During the day you work in the garden. At night you work online. See? It is late at night and you're still working.”
I looked at the laptop that was laying on my laps, then I turned to Robert and spoke with a smile, “It is called a life. It has up and down like waves in the sea. When we are at a low level, we must work hard. When we are at a high level, we can take a rest. It's not pitiful, it's natural.”
“I see.” Robert wagged his head. “What are you doing?”
“I am creating videos to upload on my video account.”
“How many videos do you create?”
“The more videos the better.”
“Why do you make many videos?”
“Before, I uploaded three videos a day but now I have to upload five or more because the economy is not good, everyone needs to survive so they become content creators. Nowadays the online industry is so competitive.”
Robert sighed again, “So pitiful.”
