It's not kind to say, but one must wonder if after you kill people, rip their bodies asunder, send them into the afterlife... if PTSD doesn't have a spiritual or karmic purpose. We're not meant to be doing this to each other.

I'm as about as big a hippie as you can get, however we live in a cold world and sometimes killing is the right thing to do. Look no further than the war in Ukraine. My family left there from pogroms over 100 years ago and again Russian aggression is causing innocent people to have to kill to defend. We're not meant to do this, you're right. However, sometimes you have to so I don't believe PTSD to be 'karmic'.

Though i do wonder if there's any difference in ptsd between the invading and defending forces. Especially if those invading either actively don't want to, or eventually come to realize they were being used for political squabbles and not the true defense of the empire and way of life.

Was there a spiritual or karmic purpose to my father molesting multiple young girls?
