Survival is not the same as thriving. And if success = thriving, then I don’t agree with your what you’re positing.
Unless you’re saying that success is the same as just “getting by” — simply because the prospect of earning well beyond one’s wildest imagination is nothing more than a cosmic “hit or miss” affair.
Though this isn’t what you’re saying, is it?

The sentiment is that we live in an age where many people get away with self-destructive behaviors that would have weeded them out of the gene pool — while at the same time, others struggle to survive in the biological and economic sense.
Living to be 50 in some places is routine, and in others it is remarkable. Just pray that we always recognize each day for the miracle it is…

To simply survive in some parts of the world is thriving, as that all there is.
Only the strong survive applies only to third world countries, and inner cities these days.
Leaving us with a very diluted pool of humanity.
