Quote from trendlover:
Ok Jesus, I will trick myself to believe I live in a world of actors. When I see or hear something so horrible as a 5 year old being the prey of a sick person, I will tell myself to not be a prisoner of the script and not come to a judgment from anger and horror. Then I will do nothing for the child, and go to a better script where happiness is for me. And then it is not real and I feel better
Your advice is to close your eyes and not see. Maybe you are so kind a person that you can not even think of these kinds of horror, so you choose to close your eyes because you don't want to see that horror. At least you are a good person even if you don't want to be in reality.
Quote from nutmeg:
Perhaps we as a society should do a better job of protecting our children, rather than being angry for our failures after the fact.
Quote from traderNik:
So let me get this straight. A pedophile rapes a child and the fault lies not with the pedophile but with others who 'failed to protect' the child?
I see.
If a stranger walks up to you on the street and smashes you in the face, whose fault is that? Yours, for failing to protect yourself?
How do we protect people against premeditated criminal acts perpetrated against them by strangers??
Sorry, nutmeg. This is why the right has a case about the left absurdly blaming the victims of crime. I have to say that this statement just jumped out at me as being absolutely ridiculous.
Quote from I am...:
See the "lion" analogy above.
There is a way to manifest invulnerability. But it cannot be achieved within the herd mentality.
