I wish we were still in garden of Eden because it is starting to feel like mankind is running out of God's favour.

Well I guess each individual definition of obstacles differs, I do not consider school assignment as an obstacle 😅, I mean those are just minor things a child goes through. Just like you said, challenges definitely have a positive impact on people, without going through hardship how would we learn.

But on the other hand, I believe there are some kind of challenges a parent could eliminate for a child to make life less difficult.
