Privation doesn't necessarily build character, privation followed by success can aid in better appreciation of that success and empathy for those still in privation.


Or it can lead to a lack of empathy, with the thought that "If I can do it, so could they".


Unrelenting privation can lead to a purely cynical outlook.
