Hard work and trauma are not the same. A good days work should leave you feeling tired, not beaten down & broken.

- afarrell 5y ago> avoiding risk is avoiding life. True. A life well-lived requires courage. Courage in means risking trauma. Yet if you don't distinguish between trauma and daily hard work, that sets you up to either: A. Avoid hard work... possibly while fantasizing about overcoming trauma. B. Create for yourself a life of trauma. This is not growth. It is just self-harm.
