“Pressure creates diamonds, yes, but it also creates rubble.”
I like your analysis. It feels more optimistic than the idea of an upper class foisting it on us to have us work harder and question less. Though I suppose they’re not necessarily mutually exclusive things.
Pressure turns coal into diamond - My Indian father taught me
I don’t believe it applies to humans now tho. I believe it comes from poor people trying to justify their hardships.
It comes from rich people starting on third base telling others they aren’t working hard enough.
My father doesn’t work for a rich person, never did.
