Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.
Even if this were hard--that is how it is ! Assuredly, however, by far the harder fate is that which strikes the man who thinks he can overcome Nature, but in the last analysis only mocks her. Distress, misfortune, and diseases are her answer.

No, London has far more culture - and you always see something new and unique here each day.... whether it's seeing loads of horses suddenly galloping down the streets.... or talented skateboard artists... or seeing people dressed in unique clothing (especially in Camden Town) ... and everything from lots of talented street artists and acrobats ....to talented singers and musicians and buskers on the London Underground .... loads of museums and galleries.... outdoor ice-skating in the winter, rollerskating disocs in the summer, boating, canoeing along the canals, lots of parks and gardens.... laser light shows and 4D shows over the skyscrapers and iconic landmarks... to the largest Chinatown in Europe, the largest theatreland in the world, open air ampitheatres, opera singers along the canals here in the summer along with gondola rides, to massive Russian and Polish festivals held each year here, to large Irish cultural festivals, the Notting Hill Carnival (the largest street carnival in Europe,) a wide range of historic and modern architecture, and over 300 languages, and over 70 world cuisines on offer. There's loads of world culture here.
Plus there's a wide range of music venues for all tastes here - everything from blues bars, burlesque bars, jazz, dance, garage, rock venues, gothic bars, etc. We also keep the tradition of having pearly kings and queens here, and also lots of hidden festivals, and traditional May Day English cultural festivals here too.
Plus all the big embassies are here too - including the $1 billion US crystal fortress embassy in London , the large and historic UK houses of parliament, etc.
