If You Can't Get Off the Galloping Horse — No, the Tiger's Back

If there's no way to avoid it, the only option is, in fact, to enjoy it.
Like military service.

Back then it was unbearably tough and grueling,

but now, looking back, that military service feels distant and oddly peaceful.
Like the bittersweet bonds you remember with regret and longing —

there's no answer except to enjoy it.
