Bad times create strong men, when they’re wise and rightly guided, else they just traumatize people. Strong men create good times, if you define strong as virtuous and not just “physically imposing” or even just emotionally resilient. Good times create weak men, when “good” is defined as “hedonistic, consumeristic and with no ethical expectations”. And weak (morally wormy, stupid, etc) men do create bad times. 🤷
Bad times leave resilient people an create broken people. A lot of people suffer from bad times, some people profit a lot from bad times.
Survivors of bad times don’t want to have bad times again, so they try to prevent them.
Better times make people forget how bad the bad times were and people who profited from the bad times try to recreate them. The longer ago the bad times are, the easier it gets for them.

Good times create soft men,
Soft men make me hard
