The Lies

It's amazing to think how much we are manipulated as children into thinking that what we do is unnatural. Traditional parenting requires that you crush any form of spontaneity in your child with brute force, lies, manipulation and humilation. If your child touches him or herself he is wrong and naughty for doing so, and yet animals do it all the time instinctively. I have 2 cats and they groom each other constantly and sometimes they touch their private parts. Parents de this to be wrong if a child is caught exploring his private regions, which is only natural to a small child who is exploring their world, and they are told this is wrong and perhaps even beaten for it. How can it be wrong to explore the world around you? This doesn't just apply to a child touching it's private parts but any sort of spontaneous emotion or something that is seen as 'insubordination' on the part of the child is strictly punished by the parents and the child quickly learns to be silent, to do what he or she is told and that their natural instincts and emotions are wrong. This in turn leads to the emotions being repressed as the it is too painful for a child to face the unbearable truth that their parents lie and manipulate them in order to get them to 'behave' in the way that doesn't threaten their own repressed emotions. Eventually the child grows up and these repressed emotions, rage, sadness and despair eventually get released, either in violence against themselves or against others. It results in depression and illness and is the reason why there is so much hatred and violence on this world. It has to stop and I will speak out and try to make a difference.
