Love that you included the bit about how the next Generation (Z) will view how we talked -- or continue to talk -- about the hardships of our time. And on footnote 6, yes. My husband and I were friends with a family during our time on Long Island, the wife being the daughter of Cuban immigrants. She inherited an internal locus of control if I've ever seen one! Worked hard, got shit done, hardly complained, one of the happiest women in my life.
yeah, in all honesty many (most?) of the people I've known who have immigrated from one country to another for a better life are very much internal locus types. Which makes sense, since moving is a big and hard thing to do. But in some ways I'd really just like to learn from and adopt the mindset of these folks that I've known. Really inspiring in many ways.

A good reminder of the right way to go about things! Thanks for your insight!
