A statement re: Life...for evaluation...

Exactly. How a certain person may handle what life dishes out may not be what we assume because of the lack of options said person may have. I can deal well with just about anything through attitude alone, except financial issues because attitude does not help that at all and we need money to live, eat, be healthy and thrive. So don't judge people too harshly if they don't handle what life bestows upon them as you think fit. Just be kind, which helps everyone.

I think it can be an oversimplification. Sometimes, terrible things happen which drastically comprise a person’s capacity to cope, regardless of personal choices, or strength of character.

So speaks an empath.
Yes, this is true. There was another thread on here about 'God' not giving a person more than they can handle. It's all part of the same thing. Our personalities differ and so we all react differently to situations. For instance, yesterday, I needed to cross the road and was waiting for a gap in the traffic. An old man came up to me and shouted 'Why don't you press the button?' He was quite agitated. I just shrugged my shoulders at him. Another person might have got into a shouting match with him. It just so happens that I prefer to wait for the traffic to ease...that's my choice. Because I'm an old lady with a shopping trolley, drivers very often stop for me anyway.

Of course that tired ol' adage about God not giving people more than they can handle.. or God gives Strength to those who can carry the load... is actually nonsense.. otherwise we wouldn't have any suicides..

Like many generalizations there is some truth in it, but..
It also seems to leave out the very important proactive part of life.

A delightful little adage in it's simplicity.
It holds truth but maybe perceived in many
ways, according to one's understanding,
awareness and state of consciousness.
