Psychology says boomers didn't develop resilience because they were stronger than the generations that followed - they developed it because they were raised in a time when the alternative was never presented, and a generation for which stopping was simply not on offer developed a relationship with difficulty that later generations have been trying to replicate but have not yet managed - Silicon Canals

Resilience in boomers stemmed from necessity, not inherent strength; they faced discomfort and hardship as a norm, shaping their character.
