Reminds me of two quotes: The 'curse' that goes "may you live in interesting times" and "Pray for perseverance and that's what you'll get"
Although, I'm not sure I can think of any genuine adversity that one could simply walk away from as you seem to claim to be able to do.
How do you quit a major illness? Systemic prejudice? Homelessness? Imprisonment? War? Famine? Runaway inflation? Depression? Suicidal Ideation? Eating Disorders? Dementia/alzheimers/parkinsons/etc?
Sure, you can sometimes work your way through the situations to the other end, but that's what OP is asking about, isn't it? Where do you get whatever it is you need to make it through? What if there is no way through and the best possible outcome is just dealing with it as in the medical/mental instances?
- jfengel 6mo agoIf there is no way through, then I die. That's OK. I guess what the OP wants to know is when you decide to cut it short, and die sooner rather than later, or keep going in the hopes that it gets better. I don't have good advice for that. Mostly, in dire adversity, I stay alive through sheer inertia. It's better to keep one's options open, and dying cuts off all of the options. That's not inspiration, and I don't think "inspiration" would be a great thing to give even if I had it to offer.
