This perfectly encapsulates my concerns about the woke phenomenon. Very insightful. Holding your nerve during periods of discomfort — whether physical or emotional — does build mettle. And mettle is the underpinning of all great achievement.
I first learned this in the military. I am now learning more nuanced, granular techniques in CBT. The ability to tough out difficult times is paramount to achieving true maturity. It’s no wonder the generations that survived the Great Depression and WWII were more resilient.
We are not teaching our children well. And we are having to live in the fragmented, polarized world they are creating. I think the worst part is all of the adults who are taking advantage of their confusion and gullibility to engender their own ends.

Great title, btw.
