struggling to survive rarely really builds character. as opposed to common myth, most artists, philosophers and geniuses of renown were did not live in poverty but were rich, and never had to perform a day of "real work" in their lives. it is these people who are fully realised HUMANS, not those who are concerned with base survival like wild animals.

Struggling to survive doesn’t build character—it just keeps people in survival mode, like animals. Most famous artists, philosophers, and geniuses weren’t poor—they had time, money, and freedom to think and create. The myth that suffering makes you great is just cope; real human potential needs stability, not starvation.

The fully realized man just lives the ideal life and has no need to write about it except perhaps in his old age.
Would Socrates have wrote half as much as he did if he had a tomboy wife and eight kids?

Didn't Nietzsche live in a poverty hut in the mountains and had severe health, both physical and mental, issues?

Struggling to survive does make you stronger, until it doesn’t. Until your system finally snaps and you become mentally and physically ill. Permanently. One can only take so much before they hit a breaking point.
