If we have experienced some trauma and been deeply hurt in our lives, that does not give us the right to do the same things to others.

Because what then distinguishes us from the same people who did it to us?

The same is true with accepting the role of victim. Regardless of what has happened to us in our lives, we choose every day how we will react to these events.

Unfortunately, we constantly witness how vicious a cycle it is and how it is only transmitted and spread further.

Of course, it is an extremely painful and difficult process and it is much easier to look for a way out in addictions and inflicting pain on ourselves and others, and to live in pain and self-pity.

Let's be realistic, we have all "damaged" ourselves somewhere during our childhood, growing up, and family and partner relationships.

But that does not give us the right to be bad and corrupt people.

Like the story of the two twin brothers whose father was an alcoholic and abused them, one twin achieved success in his private and professional life, and the other became like a father. They both had the same starting position, but also the right to choose. One chose to work on himself, and the other made excuses.

Each of us must take responsibility for our actions and not look for justifications and excuses for our lives.

Yes, life is often not ideal. And it can be brutal and painful. And someone has an easier starting position, and someone has a harder one.

But it is up to us to use that pain and those lessons to become stronger and better people. And to do our best to, if nothing else, at least not spread evil and injustice further ourselves.

Today, we lack good people more than ever. Therefore, instead of doing harm to others because that makes our situation easier, let's patch up our wounds and help others do the same.

Every day we have a choice. Let's choose to be better people. Every day!
