Oversimplified Mindsets

I often find that in times of great stress or uncomfortable situations, what I considered disadvantages have become of great strength. People are often told one of two extremes: their station is all their fault or it isn't. Both of these takes are disingenuous to provide comfort or fulfill an agenda, or oversimplified to avoid cognitive load. Your environment and situation HAVE to affect our outcomes. But sometimes, what are seen as adversities can become great strengths, through the story, grit, or unique perspectives one has. It can be an X factor. This is not to avoid striving for a better society where opportunities are provided, but it will return some loci of control from those who have had everything externalized, and give strength to move toward your goals.
