unfortunately, you are 100% incorrect.  Parents die when you're young. Diseases attack you. Key machinery breaks when you need it most. Children become gravely ill or gravely injured. Employers go out of business. None of these are the "fault" of other people's indifference, and all of them can only be survived with tremendous amounts of resilience. 
 @ad87bb60 We're not talking about the same thing. 
 @3967703f 

I've had to deal with all sorts of crises in my life, and I can unequivocally say: resilience in the face of manifold difficult situations is a generalized life skill 
 @ad87bb60 I don't doubt it. Again, that's not what I'm talking about. 
 @3967703f

So what is your personalized definition of resilience? 
 @ad87bb60 You can either read the thread or not. I'm not rehashing a conversation that's already taken place. 
 @ad87bb60 And, stop being RUDE.
