I have never cared for "rights of passage". It's the idea that if something had a certain level of difficulty for one person then it has to have that difficulty for all. This is similar to begrudging someone for success, particularly success you have yet to attain. Never do this. Yahweh gives and takes away and does all things in due season. We should be happy and give praise that He is in control while also making the paths smoother for those who follow similar paths.
