There’s no general principles here afaict. It’s not an ethics thing or a morals thing. It’s not even willpower. It’s just practice. The more you practice being kind and generous when *you* are suffering or afraid, the stronger you get.

Unlike say the eustress of exercise, which is both good for you and you sometimes actively choose because it is pleasurable under some conditions, VUCA-stress is almost pure distress that hurts you by default unless you decide to experience it in a way that makes you stronger.

This sort of thread is almost completely useless. I do them just to lay things out clearly for myself. People who get it don’t need it, people who need it will likely never get it. They’ll just navigate VUCA with fear, anger, contempt, cruelty, and multiply and spread rage pain.

It’s not really maturity, though maturity refines the basic instinct. I’ve seen the raw trait in children. Some kids seem to decide they’re going to put out 1.5x any pain they experience, others try to contain it, and try to comfort others even when they’re hurting themselves.
