Your post earned a follow from me.
One thing I recently heard someone point out, is that another definition for the word suffering is consent. This doesn't mean that if someone commits a violation against you that you've consented to that action. But you do consent to the pain you put yourself through afterwards - which often is a unavoidably necessary process. You consent to the trauma because your unconscious knows that you need to process it. The key, I think, is knowing when to say "I no longer suffer/consent to this pain." Finding the needed closure for this is a very difficult thing for a lot of people, but doing so can help arm you against any further trespasses by others.

@fireawaymarmot :That is a very interesting way of looking at it, and gives me a lot to think about! Thank you for sharing that insight. I think you will like my "affirmations of the healer/healee" should you want to take a look at that in my blog. It talks about the soul choosing the right conditions for the fruitions of ones karmas, and that is very similar to what you are talking about. Blessings <3
