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. |

"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. 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.

Quoting: ~Newton's Own~ 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. Realize that is YOUR truth. For others he/she already speaks. Unopposed. To the fullest. 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. A coward dies a thousand times, but the valiant need taste of death but once.

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. |
