One More School Shooting

I just heard of another school shooting today, it's so sad there are so many young people, especially boys, suffering out there and taking revenge on others for being hurt when they were defenseless little children. Until society faces and feels the fundamental truths Alice Miller talks about so clear in her books, these acts of violence will go on in one form or another, sadly this fundamental truth is a taboo in our society and no one wants to face and feel, but if we want to save ourselves and the world the more people starts talking about the facts of these psychological mechanisms, the better chance we have to save ourselves and humanity.

The words below by Alice just came to mind:

"We should know that the whole society will pay the price for our blindness. A government of a civilized country can no longer ignore this knowledge. You can't claim the right to play with nuclear weapons on your territories, only because they belong to you. The society's interests go before your pleasure and your habits. The government must defend these interests. To call it thus "totalitarian" makes so little sense as to insult the fire brigade in a burning house. Look around: When children are small some parents reclaim the sacrosanct "right to them" like to a property. But as soon as they become violent or drug addicted and then emotionally inaccessible these parents are eager to grant their rights to society. The children are no longer "our" children, protected in the sacrosanct family, they become "social cases" and the anonymous taxis-payers will have to pay for the prisons and hospitals these once so eagerly disciplined teenagers will need. The new law must make people aware of a very serious danger we so often oversee because we have learnt so early to oversee it” http://sylvieshene.blogspot.com/2014/05/it-is-never-okay-to-spank-beat-or-hit.html
