Whether or not you believe a world like that can exist, it's something we need to encourage; not discourage.

When we tell people to develop a thicker skin, what we're really doing is excusing people's bad behavior. That's what we need to stop. We need to stop telling good people their feelings aren't important and start telling jerks their behavior isn't wanted.
They not saying to develop thicker skin to become cold and callous but people don't need to have such thin skin where offended by everything. Now if someone calls someone "a fat stupid ugly slob" ok that uncalled for and should be offended by that but if someone just says "those glasses are ugly" that nothing to be offended about. These are just examples I sure could fine plenty better examples out there of what I'm trying to say.
