Sri Lankans don't

'see their civil war or their tsunami as traumatic –

in fact, when an army of coubsellors descended upon the nation 

after the tsunami of 2004, the University of Colombo pleaded with them to cease seeing suffering as traumatisation, because it was undermining people's resilience.

Sri Lanka happens to top the charts for 'well-being' in the Mental State of the World in 2023 report, despite such denial of the Gospel of Trauma.

'Individuals experience the world according to how they are taught to experience the world.'

~ Niklas Serning

In a hyper-individualistic culture there is a tendency to experience the world through resentment.
