      Well, remember also that mentally, we also build our own prisons.

      I absolutely was stuck in a job that was crushing my soul because I was getting paid better than worse jobs in the surrounding area, I wasn’t forced on my feet all day…

      …So I felt like I had no choice, and that it was the best I could do in the moment. So I kept going back. Even though every day I wanted to just set the place on fire and never look back.

      I don’t think so, it takes some amount of strength no matter the circumstances. Maybe to them this is “less of a suffering” compared to whatever options they have but it’s the same toll nonetheless. People in those situations simply have more resolve because of their circumstances off the bat.
