I think I’m going to be ill.
I’m sitting at my gym, working on The Book of Light, and listening to a small group of well dressed runners speak about how we should be beating our kids and making them afraid of us because this way they’d be easier to control.
“Positive fear,” said the effeminate male.
If I had eaten breakfast, I’d probably be throwing up.
I mean, I’m not the best parent in the world.I get frustrated and angry, and I yell, but I’m not proud of it. We have unique challenges as a family and they wear on us everyday, but it’s wrong when I do it, period, end of paragraph.
In other words, I take no pride when my kids cower from my voice and when I pull that kind of BS I admit it, I’m a bully.
I mean, the nature of the interaction is simple. I’m taking my greater body size and using my power and strength to suppress, both physically, energetically, and emotionally, a being with less physical power than me, and that’s wrong no matter how you look at it.
I mean really.
Would I do that to Mike Tyson if he was doing something I didn’t like?
No.
I’d have no right, and no motivation because I know I’d probably get my blocked knocked off if I tried to yell at that man.
But if it’s my defenseless, trusting, loving little children it’s OK?
No.
It is violence, pure and simple.
There are no justification.
It’s wrong, end of story.
Of course, I’m human just like everyone else and I live in a world that is way more difficult than it needs to be. Not only that, I was raised in a violent family and I continue, to this day, to struggle to shake that legacy off. I have struggled a lifetime in order to try and heal a few years of abuse. We’re all in the same boat on this and we can all help each other out. But to sit there with self-satisfaction and say we should be hitting our kids more well, all I can say is…
Bully.
It doesn’t matter how nice your running cloths are, how smart you think you are, or how wonderful you function in the stifling corporate bureaucracy where you work, if you hit your kids you’re just self satisfied, deluded bullies picking on the weak and defenseless, you should be ashamed, and instead of justifying it you should stop right now.
