Ok, here's a question. You see someone in a lake drowning. You know 100% they will survive. You are fully capable of jumping in and helping them out. You know that person survives but for the rest of their lives they never go into the water again.
Do you help them?
You assume the trauma is a net positive. I know trauma to be a net negative.
If I see someone in a lake drowning, what gives me the right to swim out and save them? They might survive it doesnt mean I couldn't have helped.
I have a bit more hope that my friends would still be my friends without their scars.
Wisdom also teaches us that learned knowledge can be as beneficial as wisdom. This is what allows society to advance.
Im just talking about the people I know now where they are a lot more comfortable with themselves because they contextualize what happened to them.
Doing gods work
Edit: the idea is I have a connection with my friends so I would have a shot at getting through to them.
Brah, read the prompt and call me when time travel is invented. Peace.
