This is a bit philosophical, but I'd say the thing you're disdaining here is the ability to handle difficult concepts. It's tough to acquire, because it requires practice failing at it for a while until we begin to succeed at standing in the path of these ideas without getting "kneecapped" by them. There does come a point, though, where they cease being so threatening. When you're practiced at handling ideas that threaten depression, they're no longer so effective when an attempt is made to use them against you. Or maybe I just need coffee.
