While I don't think everyone needs to reinvent the wheel, I think there's value in kiddos stealing a toy and finding out it felt yucky when their friend got sad. Sometimes you have to skin a knee to understand that skinning knees sucks and should be avoided. But at a high level I get you and agree.

In writing this I'm understanding that one extension of this is "hardship is necessary for goodness" which I absolutely don't agree with. So I'll take this on the chin and say my worldview does need a little refining, but I'm ok with being a work in progress.

Well…there are a lot of rich people who think stealing other kids toys and bankrupting them to get it back feels great. But then again, there’s also a lot who do that but still think they’re obeying God

Sure and for the non-fundamentalist traditions, experience helps form the conscience, which for most of them is an actual practice, because a.) you need to know how to prioritize conflicting moral directives and b.) Jesus said very plainly that the basis of morality is love of God and neighbor.
