Lionesses have no manes. How do they know when they've grown up?

As a Developmental Psychologist, I'm often asked, "Why is there suffering?" I deflect answering and respond, "There are 2 kinds of suffering. Pain from refusal to grow, and Growing pains. Which ones are worth your endurance?" Be kind to yourself.
