I may misunderstand. But this makes survival sound like the 'soft option'.
This has a corollary, arguably, which is that suicide is the brave thing to
do. I'm not seeking to mock - I think you can see it this way. [And people
who have had to deal with suicides perhaps are inclined to ease their pain by
rationalising in this vein. Even if so, this does not prove they are wrong,
of course].
The truth is all our lives are experiments in what we can "live with".
