"....everyone experiences trauma of
some kind at various times and places in life. Small traumas
probably happen on a daily basis but eventually, if one
hasn't experienced a major traumatic event, it can almost
certainly be expected to happen at some point in time. It
seems impossible that anyone could live a life completely
free of some kind of serious trauma. Trauma is a part of life
and it's often how we grow. Times when we are challenged
are often the times when we evolve the most, when we
experience spiritual growth and overall growth.
      Perhaps the key to growth is to put trauma into perspective
and to neither overrate it nor underrate it."....
