Hard times are coming, and emotional maturity will keep you strong. I've listened to men complain about things that don't matter, or make issues for themselves that can be solved with a simple shift in perspective.

For myself, I study Stoicism. I find it helps me weave through life's more unimportant emotional demands, and focus my emotional energy on where it will benefit most. Ex: A man complains of his wife complaining. Pretty common. I look at my wife's complaining as information I can use to gauge her mental health, the issues she's dealing with, etc. I don't solve my wife's problems, I just listen. I do not add her burden to my own. I simply offer advice when appropriate and I don't bring the subject up again. I do all this with respect and kindness.

I would challenge you to ask yourself how emotionally mature you are. Be honest with the answer. Think heavy on it. Dig around in areas that are uncomfortable for you. And then accept your answer.... if you're good, you're good. If you need to work on things, you know what to do.

Watch Neo-Pagans seethe.

I'm still unsure why people observe the need for contention. I don't understand why people can't put religious dogma in boxes and just sort through them at their leisure. No one really needs to confine themselves to one spiritual structure. In fact, that's the big thing that stunts people. Anyone who has studied different religions and spiritual practices should recognize they amalgamate to various lengths. Studying their amalgamation, that's what really begets spiritual awakening.

Hippies who believe in spiritual awakenings are not people I'd rely on. You object to my small contention and observation but they are the main source of contention, I am not evangelising any 'confined' perspective.

Hippies are very usually stunted in a variety of ways, I've found. I'm not objecting to what you're saying I'm only explaining my confusion over other people being so unwilling to be open to ideas that aren't their own or their preference.
