Trauma happens on Earth, and humans deserve to be able to heal from what they've experienced.

I feel like sometimes healing from trauma is such a delicate balance, because what if something in you won't heal so easily, and then you have to get more in touch with anger, and that seems to help it start a healing process, but other people want so much conformity, and it's impossible to conform to their expectations when you have a completely different set of circumstances to deal with than they have, and it seems like it would be so much more helpful if some people could just be a little bit more curious, and not so threatened by different ideas or circumstances, so what's going on with that? Sometimes it almost feels like it might be the stuff of accidentally inheriting the mentality of colonizers, I mean, unfortunately, that's what it feels like is happening sometimes. But things cannot be static or stay the same forever, and things must evolve and change. So that's the good thing. Some people seem to be slower at changing than others, but nevertheless, changes are inevitable.
