Your past does not determine your future, and what we call trauma can become a way of explaining our current choices. Freedom begins when you stop living for the approval of others.
Rather than being shaped only by past traumas, human beings may use their current emotions and behaviors to achieve hidden present goals.
Many psychological and emotional struggles are rooted in interpersonal relationship conflicts and the desire to compete with others.
You can reduce suffering by identifying who bears the consequences of an action and refusing to intervene in tasks that belong to someone else.
