Small counter point: while it is heavily important to be able to shake off life hardships, we should still fight for the world with less unnecessary harm.

Particularly, when you go about professional pursuits, we shouldn't turn them into a fierce competition that would benefit no one, but should instead stand together and collaborate to make this world better for us all. And in that regard, comfort culture is a much better fit than the culture of the grind; granted, you don't crank it up to the extremes and still develop and learn new stuff to become better at what you love.

Fair points but you're assuming the opportunity to influence the culture in a 2 way scenario. I'm generally referring to situations where you do not have that opportunity via hierarchy or other reason.

Over time you should move towards healthier environs but until then not everyone needs to be nice to you for you to drive on success.

If you are in a position of leadership or influence, indeed you should seek to reduce unwarrented negativity

Agreed here.

We should be ready for the harsh reality - we just should strive to improve it ourselves.

It takes a big heart to treat people differently from how you were treated, but that's what makes us humans.

And for as long as the reality is the way it is, we have to brace up to have a chance in challenging it.
