Abuse

ASSAULT BRUTALITY UGLY SAVAGE EVIL Why are there abusers? Why do some people abuse? Are they born without feelings? So have yet to learn how others feel. How can they ever learn? If, from birth, they knew If you caused pain to others You should feel pain too Is it a dreadful illness? That is a genetic error, Or are they just evil Born to inject terror. Terror into the innocent And those that are naive Harming the infirm and aged It's impossible to conceive. What gratification, Or satisfaction Is gained From abusing others And causing unnecessary pain. They do not have a conscience, About the despicable things they do They all go on living Just like ordinary people do You would not notice them, If you see them at the shops They look like the rest of us That's why this crime never stops. They strike without warning, When their prey is unaware They come out of the darkness Without a thought or care Spoiling the future of the victim for life With memories of the ordeal Causing fear, anxiety, and strife How can we stop this problem that we face? And rid abusers. From the Human Race

There's a reason these ugly people are around. Perhaps, just perhaps, each of us bears some responsibility for letting them get to this horrid state. Sounds harsh, I know, but ...

Well expressed Shirley? Puts my mind to The task, I emplor that people be aware And active to reject the current slide toward Eveything goes..' because it dosn't..' it only Feeds frustration, and the idea, that more Opposing values create, a better reality yet Reality is a limited spectrum, and life has to Value the rationale of man and womem as The best union 'although flawed' as all human Reality is, its the only viable mainsrream way.'

I am sure there are not pat answers to this question, but abuse does foster abuse and love and understanding does foster love and understanding. Thanks for sharing these thoughts. Sara

Very well articulated Sara There are many root causes Yet the best deterrent Is the action of Love..And I Admit there are times I do see Red, and think to would inflict damage, yet its not the lasting Anti-dote.' Also abusers must Be removed from vulnerable People as much as possible
