It’s a nice compliment. I wonder if it could be inaccurate. Could a person with very little resolve be so absolutely desperate they hang on to a job that is killing them mentally and physically? Just out of fear of the alternative.
IDK here, hope you or others have input. (Silly downvoters above, honestly, this is an acceptable discussion to have, no one mandates the upvote if one disagrees.)
Well, remember also that mentally, we also build our own prisons.
I absolutely was stuck in a job that was crushing my soul because I was getting paid better than worse jobs in the surrounding area, I wasn’t forced on my feet all day…
…So I felt like I had no choice, and that it was the best I could do in the moment. So I kept going back. Even though every day I wanted to just set the place on fire and never look back.
I don’t think so, it takes some amount of strength no matter the circumstances. Maybe to them this is “less of a suffering” compared to whatever options they have but it’s the same toll nonetheless. People in those situations simply have more resolve because of their circumstances off the bat.

So, not “fixity of purpose”.
