I think you have a point, Bruce. We humans are fragile creatures. Trauma can have all sorts of hidden effects on a person. People who are victims of crimes, tend to lose trust and confidence. That makes it so much harder for them to function in this world. Surviving trauma CAN make us stronger, but it can also make us lose our goodness and innocence. I think we need to be careful not to let that happen to ourselves. If we wallow in negativity, we become paralyzed.

Hey, Liz, can I buy you a beer?
