I may have to stop complaining about my life after hearing about Tsutomu Yamaguchi

here's the story from Wikipedia:
A resident of Nagasaki, Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on business for his employer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries when the city was bombed at 8:15 AM, on 6 August 1945. He returned to Nagasaki the following day and, despite his wounds, returned to work on 9 August, the day of the second atomic bombing. That morning, while he was being told by his supervisor that he was "crazy" after describing how one bomb had destroyed the city, the Nagasaki bomb detonated.[3] In 1957, he was recognized as a hibakusha ("explosion-affected person") of the Nagasaki bombing, but was not officially recognized as a survivor of Hiroshima by the Japanese government until 24 March 2009. He died of stomach cancer on 4 January 2010, at the age of 93.

@Pretzel I think they said affected by..I'm such a geek🤓

He campaigned against atomic bombs the rest of his life,yet was pre pared to kill his family if Japan lost

I'm afraid we will never learn..call it human nature or original sin we have no long term memory
