Today something happened that made me kind of furious, and I thought when something arouses your anger, there's no use denying it, complaining about it or cussing out whoever started it. What the heck! Don't let your fury go to waste, just seize the moment and write about it, maybe it would ring a bell somewhere.
The emotional abuse I'm talking about is that we, adults, exercise on daily basis against children. I'm not saying it's more dangerous that the former kind, but what might make its consequences graver, is that it might go unnoticed, and it can build up silently, and before you know it, it turns to something really ugly.
Please, those who have kids, the next time you have a fight with your neighbor, you don't have to prevent your son to talk to their children. And when you fight with your spouse, you don't have to ask your child to take sides! If you are a teacher and have woken up on the wrong side of the bed one morning, try to leave your screwed up mood at home, and if you couldn't, just skip school that day. Newsflash: Those creatures you see as helpless brats good for nothing but playing and bugging the crap out of you are real people, and one day they will be full grown ups, even better than you and me. You don't wanna be responsible for destroying that, you just don't…
Leave children out of it, just leave them alone!
