R Kelly, NLP and Evil

2 posts in this topic

R Kelly has done evil things, you can read about them on his Wikipedia page. But reading that, I also think some of his childhood experiences explain it:

Quote

Trauma and abuse

Kelly described having a girlfriend, Lulu, at age eight, in his 2012 autobiography Soulacoaster: The Diary of Me. He stated that their last play date turned tragic when, after fighting with older children over a play area by a creek, she was pushed into the water, swept downstream by a fast-moving current, and drowned. Kelly called Lulu his first musical inspiration.[19]

Kelly said members of his household would act differently when his mother and grandparents were not home.[20][17] This included highly provocative dress and behavior. Kelly stated that when he was eight, an adult woman in the household coerced him into photographing her while having intercourse with an adult male partner.[21]

From age 8 to 14, he was often sexually abused by an older female family member.[13][22] Kelly's younger brother, Carey, stated that he suffered from years of sexual abuse at the hands of their older sister, Theresa, who was entrusted with babysitting the siblings.[23][24] Carey stated that although their older brother, Bruce, was spared and allowed to play outside, both he and Kelly were punished at separate times indoors by Theresa, who refused to acknowledge the abuse when confronted years later.[23][24]

Explaining why he never told anyone, Kelly wrote in his autobiography that he was "too afraid and too ashamed".[19] Around age 10, Kelly was also sexually abused by an older male who was a friend of the family.[13] In his autobiography, Kelly describes being shot in the shoulder at age 13 by boys who were attempting to steal his bike,[19] although a family friend claims his mother disputed this, stating that the gunshot was self-inflicted during a suicide attempt.[13]

What an awful and traumatic set of experiences. Then as an adult he went on and did that to other people. 

But what if, hypothetically, he got some sort of NLP coach to help him reframe those childhood experiences, would he then go on to not be abusive? In other words: could we solve many trauma issues in high-school kids by implementing therapy / NLP into the school system? 

Can we prevent evil like this?

I wonder what P.Diddy's excuse will be. No sympathy or empathy whatsoever for these grown ass rich men who took advantage. They weren't traumatized enough to know right from wrong. Don't fall for these pity stories. They could have gotten the help they needed if they wanted to. Money, fame and power can also be traumatizing for some and help to create these monsters. Maybe without all that, they might have remained humbled. 

At the same time, yes, things can be put in place to help traumatized victims. 


What you know leaves what you don't know and what you don't know is all there is.
