A child should be seen and not heard. One generation raised on it did ok. But then there is my generation. Our parents had similar things to say. Sure there was more talking to kids but it felt like way less listening.
Studies have shown that once a person has power, they will rarely every want to give up that power, even if it comes at the cost of the suffering of others, for a reference see racism and misogyny.
Our parents grew up and finally "became adults" and then they had little slaves they could tell what to do. Now they love their slaves and want them to be healthy but once the slave children turn into adults, there seem to be no passing of the torch. No "your free". Just more and more "Shut the fuck up and do what you are told"
Freedom cannot be given, it must be taken. Well I am taking it. I hope that as I do I never make a child feel the way my family has made me feel.
