>Yes, it was easy for the author to ignore them. Not for other people. That's the point. The author is giving me PTSD flashbacks to coming home from grade school with a black eye and being lectured about how if only I had ignored the bullies, this wouldn't happen, so really in a way wasn't it all my fault? If you got PTSD from a black eye what did I get from being beaten into the emergency room with a swollen liver when I was 9? What did my grandmother get for surviving an extermination camp? People are anti-fragile. The less adversity you have experienced the less you can deal with adversity. If everything is PTSD inducing nothing is. Trying to protect people from reality only makes them unfit to live in it.
