Is a trauma-free life a perfect life? First, nobody's life is trauma free. The moment we were born, we started crying loudly because it was so uncomfortable to be out of our moms' wombs. Our life starts with trauma.
Then life continues. There are so many different types of traumas that you can relate to. I can use myself as an example.
When I was little, my father was very strict and even harsh. I wished I had a gentle and soft-spoken dad.
When I started school, I was one of the best students but usually not doing well in big exams. I got very nervous during the college entrance exams and didn't do well. I had to take a second time.
After I gave birth to my first child, I struggled with the sleepless nights, excessive weight gain and constantly feeling blue. I turned to food as comfort but I only became more overweighed and depressed.
At the age of 42, on one warm spring morning, one letter in my mail box simply put me from heaven to hell. It was from a married woman's husband. He wrote to tell me that my husband and his wife were having an affair.
Divorce was the biggest trauma in my life. It didn't destroy me. I came out of it stronger. I am so proud of myself.
How will life be without trauma? What if everything goes the way you want? Is it a perfect life? No, it will be a very boring life. I won't learn anything before I die.
Traumas are normal and necessary in life. Kids see how we handle traumas. They learn from us that there are ups and downs in lives. Traumas bring pain and suffering. Pain and suffering deepens your life and brings you superpower.
