My wild guess is that it's paradoxically due to life being more comfortable for people than ever before. The most resilient people I know came from rough-and-tumble upbringings like you describe.
- dumpsterlid 4y ago"The most resilient people I know came from rough-and-tumble upbringings like you describe." This is such a casually violent thing to say. You know why the most resilient people you know came from rough-and-tumble upbringings? Because they had to or their life would have spiralled out of control... and guess what there are innumerable people who's lives did spiral out of control and they aren't there for you to meet and judge. They are dead or shoved into one of societies ditches somewhere as an ignored homeless person who has no social connections with housed people because they essentially have pariah status. Do you think that is ok? It is called survivorship bias and it is honestly a little embarassing that you aren't cognizant of that even while it shapes your broad outlook on others https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias
- zaphar 4y agoI don't think this is at all correct. I am resilient not because I had a rough patch. I'm resilient because I had a safety net when that rough patch hit. Without that safety net the story would have been much much worse.
