Somewhat similarly to an “evolutionary tree” with shared ancestors, abused people were often abused themselves. “Breaking the chain” of trauma could also be considered a “mutation”, in that its another form of nature “rolling the dice” to see what pans out. Conversely, people with happy lives often create happy children, perpetuating the behavior.

I’ve often been perplexed by negative reactions on lemmy, and previously reddit (where I was once soundly thrashed for saying it was a nice day).
I don’t understand what this means. For comparison, my friend said he’d had the revelation that all hate is generational trauma, shortly before he got sent to a mental hospital for walking around naked in the park in the winter. I looked up the definition of generational trauma, but tbh I still don’t know what he meant by that. I hope to ask him when gets out.

Apparently my friend’s perception, which to him seemed like cosmic truth, was that ALL hate is from generational trauma. Can’t say I agree - people can certainly develop new prejudices based on their own individual experience. But sometimes an idea that clarifies your own issues can feel like discovering cosmic truth.
None of that matters when most of Humanitys’ “Growth” “Medium” is toxic.
Literally a Toxic Culture.
Not conducive for the mental development/physical growth for happy/healthy organisms.

I’ve heard that people with post traumatic stress can pass it on to their children, which certainly seems to be the case in my family.
You got to be empathy and spreading empathy bro
