Life is tough either way. I wouldn't set high expectations of people for life, based on what I've learned at least.
Life is tough in both these scenarios but when your happiness is dependent on another person, that kind of 'tough' has no solution. You are just helpless in that scenario and it leads to a lot of hopelessness and emotional drainage.
But if your happiness is dependent on yourself, then it has a solution. Maybe the solution is tough. Like maybe your happiness is dependent on the fact that you are in good shape and whatever you wear looks amazing on you. It's in your control to workout and eat good. It's still tough but it's not emotionally draining nor a hopeless situation. Just a silly example, but gets the point across. So life's tough either way, we get to choose the kind of tough we want tho.
