The statute of limitations has expired on most of our childhood trauma

 

I have observed that most adults feel entitle to treat others like garbage, because of the trauma they suffered during their childhood; forgetting that the statute of limitations has expired on most of their childhood trauma. There is a need to realise that as grownups, our actions have consequences and so we need to accept responsibilities for every act of kindness or wickedness we do unto others. 

So, if you give the excuse of “I raped that child or beat that woman” because of what I went through when I was younger, that excuse will not work as it is not justifiable. A question to get you thinking - if you did not like the feeling when you were younger, why would you put your wife and children through that same trauma?

It is time adults start acting as one. Whatever you had to endure when you were younger it was never OK, and I am sorry for that. You got out of that hell just fine, if you are still alive, you are fine. Instead of paying wickedness to innocent people because of what others did to you when you were younger, choose to do good, because you know how it feels. 

If you choose to forgive, you will be OK. It is not OK for you to act in a bad manner with people as a result of your childhood. That means, you are still resentful and holding back so much pain. Let it go by forgiving them - let go of the anger before you end up hurting people and yourself. Remember, the statute of limitations has expired on most of your childhood – you are an adult now and act like one.
