CHILD ABUSE



"You cannot teach a child any more than you can grow a plant. All you can do is on the negative side you can only help. It is a manifestation from within; it develops its own nature you can only take away obstructions" Swami Vivekananda

A child is born and she is not accepted as she is, from infant she is sent out to learn. Many things have to be dimmed, casted out; she has to be disciplined, weaned. She has many parts which the society and her parents are unlearned to accept, so those parts have to be denied, repressed; only a few parts are accepted. As an infant,the child has to be educated in society's doctrines regardless of thier influence in the development or underdevelopment of the society, through education she learns to conform to society and it's laws no matter how harsh and unjust it has been; she must also compete with her peers to recieve honorary pull, up the ladder. In other to conform, She has to deny many fragments of her being that will not fit with the society's design. She has to deny them so much that she herself forgets her essence and spends her years trying to fit her foot in society's tight shoes, she becomes filled with uncertainty, fear, depression and death.

This is repression, its a shame our society thrives on this.
