Is this a serious question? Easier without a doubt in my mind. If I didn't stutter, I would have accomplished the things I have in my life a lot sooner. Some things I'm still trying to accomplish. Stuttering makes everything harder but I'm not suffering because of it. Suffering is having no home, living on the street fighting each day to eat to make sure you survive. That is suffering and you could argue those problems are a lot worse than stuttering. I agree they absolutely are and if you're asking if I'd rather have those problems instead, my answer is I wouldn't. Stuttering is hard but I can still eat. I can still talk. I can still make friends. I can still get up every morning knowing that each day is another day towards personal progress. I may be a little depressed about my stutter but it doesn't stop me. I may complain and wish things were another way but at the end of the day, it doesn't stop me. Things take longer to accomplish, yes and more short term goals need to be put in place but it doesn't stop me from trying. Anybody who knows me personally knows this about me. I never give up. I know you could argue then that I became this way because of my stutter. I have this never-give up mentality because of my stutter. Yes, you're probably right that my stuttering made me this way. If I didn't have my stutter, would things have gone a different way? Probably, but I see no harm in wanting to see what that other experience would have been.
