Negative Manipulation Through One’s Injury

April 2021

By injury, please feel free to substitute the following: chinks in one’s armour, weaknesses, trauma – mental anguish, emotional disturbance.

All the same, injury becomes an opening for a thing. It could be the light and a healing. Or it could be its antithesis. Are you able to tell when the former or the latter are in action, and if not, is it because of the severity of the injury?
