Well, it was hard being a cave dweller. It was hard being a pioneer in the prairie. Hard is relative and we have come to expect easy. People should grow up. His wife was the one with cancer and he needs drugs to cope? Ridiculous.
Agree with you totally on how soft we are. It’s the fact that people these days don’t know real hardship which is exactly why they start to crumble when things go wrong for them.
I think I read that Peterson used to be a heavy drinker. His fear of sliding back to that and his wife’s diagnosis is probably what led him to try the pills.
