Fragile future
Pampering of young people needs to stop.
It's no miracle that, when they first get to hear a "No" not until when they're already grown up, that they feel it as a trauma.
Psychically, it even compares to that - because it's something that they're completely not used to in their own world. It smashes their whole view of the world, it's something not supposed to happen. They're completely unable to deal with that.
And that because they haven't gotten used to that life can also defeat their plans - that life even consists more of chronic "No"s than "Yes"s, like the joke "computer says no".
Some even try to avoid the consequences by manipulating the object back into the shape they can deal with, in order to get around the helplessness and the stun that it causes them.
One important question arising from this in a wider view: Is that what you can wish for to be the next generation elite? Some coddled babies that furiously can't get over it to hear someone saying "No" to their plans?
Do you wish for whole generations of people which are traumatized by a simple two-letter word, by a simple circumstance that so often happens in life that you can rather count the times when the opposite of it was the case?
What world do you want to build if the base for it is just as unprepared, unsuitable and unable to deal with life?
Not even to speak of how much that must be a torment even to them, realizing the world totally works different than they got to feel in the first two decades of their lives.
It renders all they learned before as obsolete and they've got to start from scratch to find a general rule in life quickly to somehow get along without a great amount of difficulties.
