Haha, exactly!

We can't coddle each other's minds like a parent trying to shelter their kids from the scary world out there, just as someone who is working towards physical strength often has to exert a lot of energy (and certain degrees of suffering) in order to reach that.

We have it in us to become ready to face life head-on. But also, as a social creature, we can also rely on the insights and wisdom of others to enable our strengths and perspectives - to me, this is far more preferable than having people gatekeep truth "for your own safety."
