Till Now, Society Has Protected The Adult

People Whose Integrity Has Not Been Damaged In Childhood, Who Were Protected, Respected, And Treated With Honesty By Their Parents, Will Be-both In Their Youth And In Adulthood-intelligent, Responsive, Empathic, And Highly Sensitive. They Will Take Pleasure In Life And Will Not Feel Any Need To Kill Or Even Hurt Others Or Themselves. They Will Use Their Power To Defend Themselves, Not To Attack Others. They Will Not Be Able To Do Otherwise Than Respect And Protect Those Weaker Than Themselves, Including Their Children, Because This Is What They Have Learned From Their Own Experience.

The Reason Why Parents Mistreat Their Children Has Less To Do With Character And Temperament Than With The Fact That They Were Mistreated Themselves And Were Not Permitted To Defend Themselves.

The Truth About Childhood, As Many Of Us Have Had To Endure It, Is Inconceivable, Scandalous, Painful. Not Uncommonly, It Is Monstrous. Invariably, It Is Repressed. To Be Confronted With This Truth All At Once And To Try To Integrate It Into Our Consciousness, However Ardently We May Wish It, Is Clearly Impossible.

Problems Cannot Be Solved With Words, But Only Through Experience.

If It's Very Painful For You To Criticize Your Friends - You're Safe In Doing It. But If You Take The Slightest Pleasure In It, That's The Time To Hold Your Tongue.
