We forget how thin skinned the young and inexperienced can be. Yes, letting go of the ego is key, but the young are mostly ego! The gift of egoless ness usually comes with age and wisdom, if at all. It is quite an art to instruct and enforce standards in a way that encourages rather than discourages.
