Sure, but it implies that survival is only a matter of strength, and any who fail to survive, do so because they weren’t strong enough. Circumstances of birth play a massive role. 100 equally adept children will fare very differently in Gaza and London.
That would be an accurate implication. They’re not weak because they died but they’re certainly strong to endure such brutal experiences. The dead are not always weak and the living are not always strong but to endure strife and survive begits a stronger person than one who lives an effortless life and dies peacefully. That left flower surviving wouldn’t indicate strength, it has no obstacles to keep it from living. The right one has to overcome much more to achieve the same thing… making it strong.
They’re both right.
