The human experience is so similar, and yes, I know the details are vastly different, and that the devil lies in the details, but, we still share the same weight on our shoulders.

每个人的经历都是如次得相似，而各中细节却有非常大的不同，我知道魔鬼其实就存在于细小的差别中，但是我们依旧同享一片蓝天，共同生活在同一个屋檐下。

Sticking often means that we continue dancing with the devil we know.
