Why would anyone wonder that? Just because the majority perspective is of a life a relative plenty, open-ness, and stability of the rule of law, they might perceive people in general to be sheltered or soft, but that’s certainly not true for many. There are plenty of stories about famine, starvation, neglect, and abuse in many parts of the world (and at home!) to dissuade anyone of this entire notion.
Question for any of us who romanticize more austere, brutish times is; why? There are many ways to test ourselves, doing so helps with perspective I believe.
- RHSeeger 7y agoWhy wouldn't they? 1. Thing X happens in our world 2. We shelter people / avoid discussing the realities of thing X 3. People that experience thing X are severely, negatively emotionally impacted Wondering if talking about thing X more openly in our society would help avoid/temper/mitigate that impact seems... like a reasonable line of thought to me.
