It seems Language was created for Mens deep need to complain.
and it holds to true to many of us.
How do one compalin for the bad road that they travelling and engage their mind on such not so useful things and forgeting that journey of life that he/she is not a mum-pune express highway.
One such story about Idaho potato farmers who used to follow a method of sorting potatoes according to size-big, medium, small only to get maximum dollar. But one farmer never bothered to sort the potatoes at all. Yet he seemed to be making the most money. Puzzled farmers finally asked him, "what is your secret?" He said, "Its simple. I just load up the truck with potatoes and take the roughest road to town while you all take the shortest. Now during the 8mile trip, the little potatoes always fall to the bottom, the medium potatoes land in the middle, while the big potatoes "RISE" on the top.
Thats not only true of potatoes. it is a law of life. People are like potatoes- When the roads are rough, the tough rise to the occasion. They win. They survive. They come out of the top!
Now you decide to be little pottatoes or medium or the tough ones, accepting the fact that journey of life being always rough.

The Idaho potato tale epitomises the quote "Tough times don't last, tough people do." The process of evolution as explained by darwin also talked about survival of the fittest.
However, let me just try to develop a case for the devil's advocate. Let's assume the rough road towards the town that the farmer used has been reconstructed and made smooth. What then is the fate of the big,med and small potato...Now how can the big potato come on top....This actually validates your theory too as I think it can be concluded that it's probably easier to distinguish/differentiate the toughness of a person during adversity and not as easy in times of prosperity....This is what can also be called as actions driven by cause and influenced by environment....
