This illustration of the fortress of Érsekújvár/Neuhäusel/Nové Zámky is a perfect example of a generic star fort in Habsburg-Ottoman wars.
Constructed 1573-81 according to plans of Italian engineers to defend the Habsburg border, it had a moat and an integrated town inside.
Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:
“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”
The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.
