Yes... dangerous territory to raise the topic of pedophiles, and I really don't want this to devolve into into rabid snarling at something abhorrent.

I just wanted to bring in the point, among all the good vibes in this thread, that there is another side to "truth".

Pedophiles are truly broken.

However, it is how we treat the "broken" in our societies' that define how broken the collectively is.

If a parent molests their child, you tell the child 'honor thy mother and father,' and prevent them ever speaking out about it. Pedophile is just a word.

E-gads!

If a parent molests their own child, they are the most broken of individuals.

The child will have deep emotional issues to work through. They should be taught the tools to be able to speak freely about how their inner self is defined by their experiences.

Yes, it is just a word, yet it defines an act that is unfortunately prevalent, and most likely based on the deep pain inside those who perpetrate it, as a result of being raised in a imbalanced and seemingly broken world.

The cycle continues?

I would suggest he has to know that about himself, it would define a big part of him.

I think the idea of "true power" is problematic, and an "absolute" that can never be fulfilled, except in an isolated systems.

True power seems (in my mind at least) to be related to complete flexibility... though seemingly the two are mutually exclusive.

Another one of those glorious paradoxes.

It will come to a point as he/she grow within spreading from body to body that it will be seen, felt, heard by all. Everyone will know in an instant the truth of what they really are, what really resides within their bodies. When cannot be determined.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78966539


If that point does exist, it will be gradual, and only realised likely generations into the future, after any effect is pervasive.

"Knowing in an instant" would be devastating to the psysch, it takes effort to learn, and understanding may be instant, but application is a life-long journey.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79102839


Who knows maybe something will throw a wrench in the cogs and force everyone to really wake the f' up. Maybe a rude awakening with mass psychosis beyond what is already taking place is exactly what is called for. Have about had it.

Looking around other places I frequent everyone still wants to blame the other side. Left say the Right is evil. Right say the Left is evil. Someone who claims to be woke said looking within is “New Age” Awakening BS that has been taken over by the far right Qanonsense. No one, not ONE can come up with any solutions. All they can do is blame any one but themselves.

As long as we collectively continue to feed the division we will continue to evade the solutions.

No, not at all. You are assuming by "tools" I mean some type of brain washing. What I mean by "tools" is really just critical thinking and self-awareness for the child who is a victim.

There's nothing nefarious here.

One of the banterings saw was a Trumper saying to the other side well what about Clinton's associations with Epstein? The Clintonite responding what about Trump's associations? Sickness to that level doesn't care about your politics. Many were abused themselves. Some are just sick. What do you do with a sick animal with no chance of ever being healed? Rabies is mostly incurable. You put them out of their misery. That is true mercy. For both the abuser and the abused.

Some can be cured. Some can break the cycle. My spouse endured SRA in his early teens. I also survived an incident in early childhood. Many of our friends along the way were also survivors. It messes you up for life. Suicide, major substance addictions. It caused us to be overprotective of our child which had its own issues. We broke the cycle. We overcame it.

Then how is that truth, if only you can see it?

Everyone has their own truth man, and are loath to relinquish it.

No wonder he doesn't speak.

You all paint him into a corner of "truth", belief and a set of scripted behaviours before he even begins.

He came probably to break all that.

Will you still support him when he challenges your "truth" and beliefs?

No, you will turn on him and oppose him for questioning you.

Which is why he probably patiently bides his time.

Letting bitter thoughts lead to a negatively impacted life is all too common. Too often victims of pedophilia become pedophiles themselves! How do we break that cycle?

In our current world, "string em' up"!, because it's where we are with our collectively empathy, and given that, I can be on board.... that doesn't mean I can't have different thoughts, and imagine more ideal worlds.

Reason is a last resort for you. Where staying away from the people who hurt you isn't an option--and it isn't--then reasoning with people whose first option was coercion is kind of silly, isn't it? What value does human life actually have in this light? You have to argue from both sides of the bench even to establish a 'case.'

If a person breaks into your house to take something from you in order to force you to do something you don't want to do, how different is that from someone who breaks your mind and your body to take sexual pleasure from you? Do you think given this gross and basic disrespect for human autonomy and dignity that there is an actual discussion to be had? Now let's add that real pedophiles have been protected by your interlocutors based on how useful they were in other respects. Where are we going? Somewhere bad, I reckon.

Realize that is YOUR truth. For others he/she already speaks. Unopposed. To the fullest.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78966539


My truth is there are many who claim truth through hubris who do not know what the truth can possibly be.

In my truth, the real truth is more glorious than humans can possibly see.

Some catch a glimpse of it and are changed forever.

Its a love and acceptance that breaks all chains and all barriers.

Once you see a bit of it or feel it, you know we are all one and collectively we determine our own existence, all abounding in the love and freedom of God Almighty.

I've felt it, and its amazing.

Look at each person as you would your own loved child and you may get close to it.

At the risk of blowing this into something it's really not meant to be, I'll ask a simple question.

Please don't take offense! Take my question at face value and consider what an answer could be in relationship to your beautifully stated ideal.

How do you feel about pedophiles?

Me personally, they disgust me.

As a father of 4, anyone who would harm a child is the lowest of the low.

I do agree, even if I can't help but play devil's advocate.

I almost ripped the head off a man I saw looking inappropriately at a group of young boys in school sports uniforms. When he pulled his phone out (I assume to take take pictures), he noticed me and ran.

If it was my own child, I just hope pleading "crime of passion" is acceptable.

NOTE!!!
My sincere apologies for opening that thread derailing can of worms!

Yeah, I think it's time for another month-long break. There's no value in taking constant abuse from people who otherwise claim to care about people in the abstract.
