Not Developing to Feel Empathy for Ourselves and Others is the Ultimate Tragedy

Things will never turn around and evil will never be extinguished in our world as long as childhood repression is a taboo in our society.

The conversation about the effects of childhood repression in our society needs to start happening in the stage of the world, sooner rather than later, if we want to save ourselves and humanity from falling off a cliff and committing mass suicide. 

I recommend for people to read Alice Miller's books if they want to educate themselves about the dangers of childhood repression in our society. Not developing to feel empathy for ourselves and others is the ultimate tragedy that happens to a lot of people in our world.

Alice Miller died on April 14th, 2010, at the age of 87, She was born in Lemberg and studied in Warsaw and Basel. The Swiss woman pleaded for a loving and non-violent education. One of her thesis says: even in the cruelest dictator, serial killer or terrorist there is, without any exception, a hidden, severely humiliated child, that only survived due to the complete denial of his or her feelings. The Drama of the Gifted Child and the Search for the True Self , from 1979, is her most popular book. In an interview in "Kulturzeit" ( a cultural program) she said in 2001: "When a child is permanently beaten and punished, as it was the case with Hitler and Stalin, he or she must deny the pain and is not allowed to feel and , as a result, will not develop the innate capacity to feel empathy.
