痛みを伴わない教訓には意味が無い・・・

人は何かの犠牲なしに何も得る事などできないのだから

I usually see など used like "etc. / things like / and others", I was wondering if it's the same word here, though it sounds kind of odd if I put it this way.. I don't really understand what it adds to the sentence.

Speaking of humans, that is why without something as a sacrifice, nothing etc.. is able to be obtained.

    Can you double check you've copied the quote correctly? I think it should be 人は何かの犠牲**なし**に何も得る事などできないのだから to make sense. – Chocolate Jun 03 '20 at 01:12
  • @Chocolate My apologies, I did mistype that part. My attempt to apply my understanding from the links you sent, I think it is used to belittle / look down on the "nothing" that is gained. – Dani Jun 03 '20 at 02:12
