I find this to be one of the most personally challenging paradoxes of human experience.

Yes, erecting and enforcing boundaries is very important.

However, the universe brings us people and situations that trigger us to show us where we need to let go and grow.

If we create a life circumstance that protects us from all suffering (and triggering) we would never evolve.

Your namesake’s (Siddharta’s) childhood story is exactly that.

Michael Singer’s Untethered Soul does a masterful job breaking this down as well.
