# Inochi Kezuri Why are Beethoven or Van Gogh's works great? There are reasons. But I think in the end it comes from that they scraped their own lives to make something great. From my personal experiences this is undeniable. Although not the level of them, a lot of indispensable ideas come up when I don't eat anything over 24 hours. So I occasionally do that if I really need. I think it's unhealthy. But the whole point is sacrificing health. I find this also from history. When a long peace comes, I often find the culture of that era lukewarm. Though there are some good things from the prosperity. The trade-off between life and greatness. It is also what made Achilles a hero.
