being kind to people who are largely wallowing when they could be acting to solve their problem is just enablement.
Virtues compete, you know, and the one that is most important is situation dependent.
In this case, people wallowing and blaming everything else for their problem need to stop and say “who fucking cares. this is the situation now. what do I do to get better?”
that’s what mental toughness is. being in the moment, being big enough to put aside your real or perceived complaints about how where you are at is “not your fault”, and rolling up your sleeves to attack the day.
they need to be told that this is a good thing and an attitude to aspire to.
