For The Human Soul Is Virtually Indestructible,

For Some Years Now, There Has Been Proof That The Devastating Effects Of The Traumatization Of Children Take Their Inevitable Tollon Society--a Fact That We Are Still Forbidden To Recognize. This Knowledge Concerns Every Single One Of Us, And--if Disseminated Widely Enough--should Lead To Fundamental Changes In Society; Above All, To A Halt In The Blind Escalation Of Violence.

The Free Expression Of Resentment Against One's Parents Represents A Great Opportunity. It Provides Access To One's True Self, Reactivates Numbed Feelings, Opens The Way For Mourning And - With Luck - Reconciliation.

Clinging Uncritically To Traditional Ideas And Beliefs Often Serves To Obscure Or Deny Real Facts Of Our Life History.
