Every baby starts life as a little savage. He is completely selfish and self-centered. He wants what he wants when he wants it: his bottle, his mother's attention, his playmate's toys, his uncle's watch, or whatever. Deny him these and he seethes with rage and aggressiveness which would be murderous were he not so helpless. He's dirty, he has no morals, no knowledge, no developed skills. This means that all children, not just certain children but all children, are born delinquent. If permitted to continue in their self-centered world of infancy, given free reign to their impulsive actions to satisfy each want, every child would grow up a criminal, a thief, a killer, a rapist.
Matt,
ReplyDeleteThank you for everything! I have never wished to stay away from home as much as I wished to stay the "dishes wife" in SC! I see you wrote this on Saturday, but I needed it as much today.
matthew, what a beautiful post for sandy. thanks to you and charity and the boys for welcoming my three girls into your home. she needed that. we had a good group at the first Prasso meeting last night. around 18-20. some were monitoring but they act like they might stay. i think sandy was expecting 14. anyway, God bless you Mr. Matt. love fran
