The Shattering of Assumptive Worlds
Difficulties and trauma can lead to a reevaluation of one's foundational beliefs, often referred to as the assumptive world. Many people operate under the assumption that the world is predictable and controllable, but life events can challenge and shatter these beliefs. The story of Job illustrates how such assumptions can be dramatically upended when faced with extreme suffering and loss, forcing individuals to reassess their views on life, God, and their circumstances. Recognizing these shifts is crucial as they allow for a deeper understanding of one’s experiences and emotional responses.
