This is an important point. Not everyone survives hard times, but if you just give up and decide that the apocalypse is inevitable and nothing can be changed, you become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The future has yet to be written, but we can choose whether to fight for the world we want to create.
a key take away from reading a lot of history for me:
the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”
