Ache

Have stomach ache again - this is usually a sign of stress.

An old story flashes up in my mind: Towards the end of the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang (諸葛亮) planned to have another campaign against Wei (魏). Sima Yi (司馬懿) - at that moment the "Secretary of Defence" of the opponent empire - was not at all worried. He made a comment about the Prime Minister of Shu Han (蜀漢):

食少事繁,豈能久哉?

Thank god, I am not a fans of Zhuge Liang. Fan Li (范蠡) is my cup of tea.
