I think you missed my point.
Also idk how serious you’re being.
It’s about expectation management. If you’re taught to expect that you can turn struggle into strength and obstacles into opportunity, then when you’re unable to then you’ll feel like something is wrong with you, and when society expects it of others then it becomes a moral failing.
But the times where it’s feasible to transform those negatives into positives are rare and fleeting, so we’re setting ourselves and others up for failure with messages like this.
And equally important, this effectively absolves responsibility from those with the power to help.
So I don’t believe it’s healthy to take that “positive” perspective, because I don’t really believe it’s positive, any more than the belief you can fly is.
Lol I’m not sure which of the perspectives that’d fall under, but I’m not sure that’s a great long term strategy either in the current job market.
Reality and ideality (is that a word?) are unfortunately pretty divergent
Seek the truth, always.
