People also often say that hardships weren't "entirely bad" because they taught them how to "deal" with various things. I often get the impression it's a way of making sense of all the pain.
IMO, this is a tendency of people who've spent a long time stuck on a relatively high step on Maslow's ladder. It's easy to believe that if you were to endure hunger & cold, community would rally... but this isn't how people typically work. You don't meet needs by neglecting them https://twitter.com/sknthla/status/984829895355322368 …

But really progress is all about there being hardships nobody has to "learn how to deal with" anymore. Very few people know how to start a fire in the forest or survive an encounter with a lion - and that is a good thing.
