I found this post made by BoraxBill in "The Pit (Trona Football)" thread. It sums things up very nicely. The discussion was about an article in which the football coach had made erroneous claims about PTSD as a result of the twin quakes last year. This quote illustrates how people who are overly pampered can have their lives derailed by small events. Dysfunctional individuals cling to cheap excuses. They over-dramatize non-extraordinary events. Their lives are like perpetual soap operas. What has been said about the low-IQ-high-emotion crowd applies here.
BoraxBill from The Pit (Trona Football) thread wrote:wildrose: Keeping things in proper perspective requires intelligence and emotional maturity. Most people are lacking in one or the other or both. Children get a pass, but children are blessed with natural resilience unless they are surrounded by dysfunctional adults. Even then, kids with lots of intelligence generally tend to find their way despite bad circumstances. The important thing is not to buy into what I like to call the "Cult of Empathy." Never allow yourself to accept as normal behaviors which are inferior or dysfunctional. As soon as you do that you fall into the libtard and SJW rabbit hole. And you don't want to go there.
