Also, I don't think it is helpful to compare yourself to other people. I do it too, especially as a woman. I have a job and support myself, but I see other women doing that and also raising kids, which seems impossible to me. I have to remind myself that they have their own problems too. No one's life is perfect, no matter how much it may seem like that to those of us on the outside. There is always going to be someone who seems to be doing better than you. But there are also people worse off. I see mentally ill people living on the streets and remind myself that without the support of my family and medication that would be me.

and that ritual did not involve women, and was accepted as the coming of age for men(young men) in that culture. Quite different that the ritual of dualing kites, sounding horns, or playing the banjo. Although, this is a fictional land, the ritual holds merit to the realities of what this tribe was faced with in the wild(?). We, as a species, are rapidly evolving and I for one, am not ready to jump ship
