Endwalker's story had me, but lost me. Ethical issues especially (spoilers)

Just like real life character is grown through trials and fire. If our habit is constantly living in fear, anxiety and depression. That’s what we wear inside and out. When we move forward and over come a fear, anxiety and depression we grow as individuals. when those negative moments come again we are ready because of the habit we practice in those trials. we over come like the gospel teaches.

The ancients in Venats time refused to overcome and wanted to return to bliss, but refused like the other planets to overcome their current situation. They all just gave up which makes no sense, because in reality not all individuals have the same character.

Venat created a word of struggle, where suffering caused by others is a choice and overcoming bad situations is growth. Despair may come and go like real life, but building a habit of overcoming leads to strength.

You don't need to live in a war zone, and lose people, in order to grow wiser. It sounds like something somebody living in a comfortable advanced society would say. Venat didn't create any world, she just set everybody back. What happens when eorzeans eventually rise to the levels of the amaurotines? There's not much different besides shorter lifespans, and thinner souls. I don't agree with such destructive views. The only reason the Amaurotines went that way, was because of the final days, and because they didn't have enough voices of reason against it in their time of pain. If suffering is good, then the final days should have resulted in them all growing as people.



Earth's society can be looked at as an example of how increasing the standard of living helps people grow more capable. When something bad happens on earth, I could say it makes people grow the wrong way, not the right way. Thankfully everybody is still working together to make things better, even if they bicker along the way.


But I'm unsure if earth society compares well to eorzea, since there are other complications such as emotions being a form of energy. I like to be optimistic though.
