This will be used against you for the rest of your life in all sort of sick ways Eek. Weaponizing and exploiting other's people vulnerability is the apanage of people who are not able to sit and face their own feelings. The joke is on them. As above so below, as within so without. I was listening yesterday to an interview of Gabor Maté by Tim Ferris. Tim Ferris apparently also came forward with his abuse and I don't think anyone in his community has been using this to torment him. I'm pretty sure he got a lot of support. -- As I mentioned Ferris, I thought I'd list here a few resources on the topic of child abuse and grooming. https://tim.blog/2020/09/14/how-to-heal-trauma/ Here is a book review of Consent by Springora from the NY times. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/16/books/review-consent-memoir-vanessa-springora.html Edited September 17, 2022 by Etherial Cat Be cautious when a naked person offers you a t-shirt. - African proverb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 17, 2022 It is pretty hard for my mind to really hold the absolute perspective that pedophiles just act out of love and the relative perspective that pedophiles should be restricted and if they go to far be thrown into prison simultaneously.

Posted September 17, 2022 Just now, Etherial Cat said: The absolute perspective isn't made to cancel relative perspectives. In the case of pedophilia, there are a whole lot of relative perspectives that need to be honored over " let just that man have its way, it's just all love anyway" . Of course of course. I am just saying that it’s hard for my mind to not jump to conclusion based on the relative or absolute perspective. @Leo Gura Do you think we could evolve to a society where healthy Pedophilia is accepted or is the risk for rape to high? Right now I feel like it’s better that Pedophilia is demonized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The absolute perspective is that everything is Love. But additional to that, you can also say that pedophiles generally want to have a genuine loving personal relationship with a child, as if they were their husband/wife, not just sexually rape them and leave them on the street. You have to distinguish between pedophile and child molester. Most child molesters aren't actually pedophiles (and vice versa). They just want to exert power and find molesting children as one outlet for that if the opportunity arises. The thing though is that pedophilic relationships are probably not healthy for the child, hence it should be against the law.

And I think there can be a thin line between pedophile and child molestor. 19 minutes ago, Carl-Richard said: The thing though is that pedophilic relationships are probably not healthy for the child, hence it should be against the law. That’s I think the right way of thinking about it. If its bad for the children in any way that has to have priority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right now I feel like it’s better that Pedophilia is demonized. It cannot be accepted as in something that is allowed to occur because is many cases it will cause trauma.

If you try to read something into this, or derive some conclusions out of this about my psychology, I guarantee you'll make a mistake. I didn't share my story because I was traumatized or this is part of some healing process. I shared my story just because it was interesting and I have nothing to heal.

I have very little knowledge about this topic. Quote But it does not have to be demonized, since all demonization is just stupidity and solves nothing. I think I saw something like an advertisement once about Pedophilia. It basically said "It’s okay to love children, it’s not okay to act it out. Go get help if you need to.“ I think that is the right message. Not "If you love children you are basically the lowest creature in society.“ The pedophiles hearing this will never get help because they will be to ashamed of themself. Demonization makes everything worse. Edited September 17, 2022 by Jannes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 17, 2022 17 minutes ago, Carl-Richard said: What is? What you wrote about pedophilia is just plain false and unhelpful for a victim to heal. - Guys, you people know very well that from the absolute perspective everything is love. You can read about the most horrendous war crime from the unit 731 and still come at it from the spiritual absolute perspective and say it. But the question is, does it also manifest as love in the relative/mundane/three dimensional world? Does this behavior protect free will, health, integrity, does it show cares, etc ?
