(36,147 posts)If you have a child who never has to do anything for himself, never encounters difficulty, never experiences hurt or suffering, that child grows up to be incapable. Lacking resilience, empathy, the ability to deal with any headwind or accept that the universe isn't centered around himself. They cant' take correct, they're convinced the universe is there to wipe their butts. Now, the person may seem fine for a while, all nice and outgoing living under perfect conditions, until the minimal empathy and resilience that he has is strained--maybe by being asked to do an assignment instead of some fun activity, maybe a significant other has a problem with him.
I've grown plants like this. They grow in perfect conditions. Perfect water, nutrient, sunlight, temperatures, etc. Then when you put them outside in the ground they die, even the conditions are superior to the conditions that species would normally encounter in natura. They need to be hardened off first. Cactus nurseries often grow plants to a size desirable by collectors, but if they put those plants, who normally grow exposed to 10-12 hours of intense sunlight per day in the wild, who have the capacity to withstand really challenging conditions, in the sun for just 2-3 hours they sunburn.
