I think, from a psychological standpoint, feelings shouldn’t be avoided. They should be felt and dealt with. And if we are perpetually chasing happiness in a desperate attempt to avoid the more negative feelings in life then we become emotionally stunted individuals. Again, your example of your children uses the phrase “overly grieve”… problematic because *your *gauge will be different than everyone elses. The important thing here is that they allow the grief to take place in the first place. Attempting to avoid it and “think only happy memories” will prolong it… avoidance doesn’t work when it comes to emotions. And yes of course we can completely agree to disagree here :k:.

Thank you I watched the video, I still feel that trauma may not make people stronger. The ideal situation is to not have and to create a society where we reduce the amount of trauma, people live longer, healthier, there is no hunger and no sexual discrimination. I still feel that if Andrew might not have been victimized he might be happier and stronger and could even have had deeper roots. Blacks were victimized for centuries and really that did not make them stronger and their sufferings continue. I have been the person who chases happiness and has worked for me, I change my internal conversation to make my experiences happy. Again you are a very well read and intelligent person and you have valid reasons for your beliefs. 20 years of amazing and happy family life tells me that my approach has worked for me, it might not work for someone else. I tell myself every morning that It is my responsibility to be happy today.
