We don’t need a struggle. Well not everybody. Yes some folks are addicted to drama and make crap up if life can’t provide it for them. Most folks are perfectly OK with living the casual life and their only adversity being there’s more shows they want to record on at the same time than the DVR can handle. That majority doesn’t generate headlines so nobody finds out about them. But really we don’t need adversity, hell the whole point of adult decisions is to make it so you can look BACK on when you used to have adversity... on a comfortable couch... with an expensive drink in your hand.
But if you never had that adversity, you never had any need or incentive to learn to make adult decisions.
