One Can Only Remember What Has Been

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.

Almost Everywhere We Find . . . The Use Of Various Coercive Measures, To Rid Ourselves As Quickly As Possible Of The Child Withinus--i.e., The Weak, Helpless, Dependent Creature--in Order To Become An Independent Competent Adult Deserving Of Respect. When We Reencounter This Creature In Our Children, We Persecute It With The Same Measures Once Used In Ourselves.

I Sincerely Believe That We Not Only Have The Right To Know What Is Good And What Is Evil; We Have The Duty To Acquire That Knowledge If We Hope To Assume Responsibility For Our Own Lives And Those Of Our Children. Only By Knowing The Truth Can We Be Set Free.

Empathy Grows As We Learn.

The True Opposite Of Depression Is Not Gaiety Or Absence Of Pain, But Vitality: The Freedom To Experience Spontaneous Feelings.
