I've always wondered about attacks on children. Why them? Are we not protecting them enough or is it just an animal mentality of attacking the weak or innocent? Maybe this is why I received this epiphany recently. It was not only about the physical and psychic attacks on our children, but humanities double standards and the decline of self worth, leading to other declines. It was so far fetched, it was believable. It certainly opened my eyes in how far back this insanity has gone on and how we've learned to make excuses over it. No, it's not applicable to everything and everyone, and by no means the only reason, but a large enough portion to be a concern. Below is what I received and the ensuing conversation with guidance.
~~~~~~~~~~
Generally, most parents, in a civilized country (or home), try to raise their children under a blanket of protection. They tell children they're not allowed to watch an inappropriate movie, not to talk disrespectfully, be polite to others, no profanity allowed, be kind and considerate, and all sorts of things we consider wrong for our children but okay for adults. In fact, we insist they get out and play, watch cartoons and share with siblings and/or friends because that's the right thing to do. On the most part, they are to have fun, while learning, because they'll be "grownups" soon enough.
Then the hammer drops. They start growing up, seeing and hearing the real world of hate, vulgarity and violence; some becoming desensitized zombies in the process of their adulthood. Some feeling they're being dragged down and into this strange adult world by those who have already learned to feel unworthy. Mostly based on their disconnection of childhood memories, which they were taught was proper behavior but now it's not. Tossed in a storm of deceit because, apparently, proper and respectful living is only for children. The double standards starts chipping away at their life and the darkness starts to rear it's ugly head. Nostalgia may lead to depression and the attacks to themselves or others begin. All due to an unconscious resentment towards what some once had but feel they cannot recapture. They attack due to hate and jealousy which manifests into physical and mental health attacks ... including from the unseen. They've lost their ability to see their self worth.
Without a doubt, these emotions have also led into the attacks of some while still children, which still creates a path of worthlessness. In this case, it starts earlier than later.
Guidance even stated that it's become so bad that some adults are unconsciously trying to rectify things without understanding the reasons behind what they do. They have elected to teach their children to be adults, while still young, with all the impropriety that entails. This, sadly, has caused more turmoil instead of less; good mental health is on a decline along with intellectual reasoning. As mentioned above, a decline in self worth can fuel this.
Also, guidance reminded me, while we were discussing this epiphany: "Many teachers were sent here to teach love and self worth and were attacked too. The lack of some adult's self worth is so strong they couldn't see their salvation being given to them as a gift. In fact, like wanting to attack the innocence of children, due to resentment, they wanted to seek revenge against the teachers too. After all, many may reason that these teachers, like the children, must be more worthy. Since they feel no worth, cannot see the gift being offered, they attack because that's all they know how to do now. It's easier for some to attack and try to bring another down to their level than rising above it."
Yes, it may seem far-fetched but these troubles are deep within many and a major reason why many children are targeted; those children who have been attacked physically and mentally, including physical and mental illnesses. Yes, these are thoughts in the universe that can permeate into anyone's mind. Yes, it appears to be a never ending story; a repetitive battle. Yes, it's insanity, and it's chaos. However, we allow ourselves to remain in the quagmire, or we allow ourselves to be pushed back into it, because it's become easier to do so. It's also become a perpetual revenge of what was lost but may also be feared. It's like attacking the light because we're more familiar with the dark.
We attack adults due to hate of what we've become and they're a reminder.
We attack children due to jealousy of what we lost and they're a reminder.
We attack ourselves due to lacking love within.
We attack due to fear that we aren't worthy or someone else may be more worthy.
