The roughest part of that lifestyle is the travel and early mornings.

Time and the hour run through the roughest day.

An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather.

We have that illusion that we are 'deciding' what to make a character do in order to 'convey our message' or something like that. But at least in my experience you are often more like a river-rafting guide who's been paid a bonus to purposely steer your clients into the roughest possible water.
