Contempt Is The Weapon Of The Weak

I Sincerely Believe That We Not Only Have The Right To Know What Is Good And What Is Evil; We Have The Duty To Acquire That Knowledge If We Hope To Assume Responsibility For Our Own Lives And Those Of Our Children. Only By Knowing The Truth Can We Be Set Free.

We Are Still Barely Conscious Of How Harmful It Is To Treat Children In A Degrading Manner. Treating Them With Respect And Recognizing The Consequences Of Their Being Humiliated Are By No Means Intellectual Matters; Otherwise, Their Importance Would Long Since Have Been Generally Recognized.

That Probably Greatest Of Narcissistic Wounds -- Not To Have Been Loved Just As One Truly Was -- Cannot Heal Without The Work Of Mourning.

Child Abuse Is Still Sanctioned — Indeed, Held In High Regard — In Our Society As Long As It Is Defined As Child-rearing. It Is A Tragic Fact That Parents Beat Their Children In Order To Escape The Emotions From How They Were Treated By Their Own Parents.

Genuine Feelings Cannot Be Produced, Nor Can They Be Eradicated. We Can Only Repress Them, Delude Ourselves, And Deceive Our Bodies. The Body Sticks To The Facts.
