What makes it alright in someone's mind to try to steal, to take away someone's innocence?

[StudyingAuthor]

I was thinking... probably shouldn't have been doing that. But why? What makes a person crazy enough to drive a child away from the sweet innocence they were born into?

[BarryLiverstone]

If someone can not think of the other person as a human being, then they can make decisions based on their own narcissism or other selfish reasons. At that point they lose a a sense of morality we all have to protect and care for innocence

[StudyingAuthor]

Just one a Barry... but this actually makes sense. I can't say anything as a rebuttal.

[normalice]

Misery loves company.

[StudyingAuthor]

yup.

Willliam Blake gotchu on this one:

Songs of innocence

Little Lamb who made thee
Dost thou know who made thee
Gave thee life & bid thee feed.
By the stream & o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing wooly bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice!
Little Lamb who made thee
Dost thou know who made thee

Little Lamb I'll tell thee,
Little Lamb I'll tell thee!
He is called by thy name,
For he calls himself a Lamb:
He is meek & he is mild,
He became a little child:
I a child & thou a lamb,
We are called by his name.
Little Lamb God bless thee.
Little Lamb God bless thee.


Songs of experience

Hear the voice of the Bard,
Who present, past, and future, sees;
Whose ears have heard
The Holy Word
That walk'd among the ancient trees;

Calling the lapsèd soul,
And weeping in the evening dew;
That might control
The starry pole,
And fallen, fallen light renew!

'O Earth, O Earth, return!
Arise from out the dewy grass!
Night is worn,
And the morn
Rises from the slumbrous mass.

'Turn away no more;
Why wilt thou turn away?
The starry floor,
The watery shore,
Is given thee till the break of day.'

I dont understand the context of this question, but in my opinion, no one is truly innocent. everything is a grey area, there is no black and white/good or bad.

[Jennz6]

@lil_will_12 she’s too young to be anything other than innocent

[StudyingAuthor]

Well... take a child. You have a fucked up child with fucked up memories. And you have a normal child, who is living a good stable and safe life. Which is the more innocent? A child is born into innocence and evils of every kind. But if they're raised right... they can't find those evils to connect to.

[StudyingAuthor]

@Jennz6 Jen, you and I both know that I'm a lot more fucked up than I appear to be.

[lil_will_12]

But, you didn't choose to be, right? That, in my opinion, is the clear dividing factor (of innocence) in this scenario 🤷‍♂️

[Jennz6]

@studyingauthor if you say so

[StudyingAuthor]

Why would someone choose to be like me? You must know I'm not the person you think I am. I speak well... I act happy, but there's always an undertone of something you might never know. But hey! Look at the bright side... there's no more having to protect me!

[StudyingAuthor]

@Jennz6 alr...

[Jennz6]

@studyingauthor
air…

[exitseven]

Some people need to be killed. This would qualify

[StudyingAuthor]

Yuh, true.

[RavVid]

I'm not sure what you are saying but my innocence did not survive puberty. I might not have known much detail but I did know what caused erections.

[WhitneySnow]

It’s never alright

[StudyingAuthor]

It's not alright in our minds because we understand it's wrong. But stuff happens to children so often that there has to be people who know it's wrong and think through it... and think in some way that it's right.

[WhitneySnow]

I guess. But I totally don’t get it.

[StudyingAuthor]

that's why I asked.

[WhitneySnow]

Sorry. I have no clue how someone could justify that.

[ChicoFromThe305]

What are you talking about

[StudyingAuthor]

You know how children are born innocent. Yet there are predators waiting to steal that from them?

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yea I know, it's sickening

[StudyingAuthor]

So now I'm wondering what goes on in the mind of those people.

[ChicoFromThe305]

They are sick, it's known as a mental illness but it's highly hated on and tbh it's deserved treatment because they still make the choice to do things to others

[StudyingAuthor]

No... they don't need treatment... they need their dick and balls cut off and then bled to death. (Sorry if this seems a bit personal cuz it is.)

[ChicoFromThe305]

That's how I'd handle it, treatment is stupid, sorry about your situation, I hope you can properly heal young sapling 💯

[StudyingAuthor]

I'm healing alright... can't say the same for him.

[ChicoFromThe305]

I don't know what happened to him but sounds like it was what he deserved, stay strong tho 💪🏽

[StudyingAuthor]

Ha! When have I not been strong?

[ChicoFromThe305]

When you box heeheehee

[StudyingAuthor]

Shut up!

[Jennz6]

It’s not right

[Dongie]

The devil.

[StudyingAuthor]

True, but I'm asking. Like what goes on in their thought process that drives them to that point?

[Jennz6]

Jealousy maybe

[Jennz6]

@studyingauthor you are so incredibly beautiful and intelligent and someone is jealous

[StudyingAuthor]

@Jennz6 You will always have to experience hate... but there's a point that has to be made Jen.

[Jennz6]

@studyingauthor I agree with you

[Dongie]

Yep, he does all those things along with demons.

[Dongie]

All you have to do is never let it open you to passing it on. Jesus will fix everything when He returns.

[StudyingAuthor]

I just wish I could see the mind of those people so I can understand what makes it right to them.

[Dongie]

I would say anger at the act happening to them. That let's the evil in and it can take over those thoughts you have. You let it alone and Jesus covers you.

[StudyingAuthor]

For the innocent one... the anger settles in much later. But in that time. All you want it for them to stop. All you want is to know what you've done wrong so that you could fix it. I know you've experienced that before even though I don't know you that well yet.

[Dongie]

It for some is blocked out then comes in tiny shards as an adult. Then it screws you up.

[Dongie]

You need to forgive and continue on.

[StudyingAuthor]

I didn't post this for me... A lot is going on with someone I know. And I'm not good with forgiveness.

[Dongie]

That's OK. He is.

[StudyingAuthor]

Yeah... and he'll have to forgive me when I say that devil needs to fucking burn in hell.

[Dongie]

Heh, he's going to cool his heels for a Millinnial then it's the lake of fire forEVER

[StudyingAuthor]

Yeah! lol.
