Is It Normal to Hurt Others?



More than you can stand.

Do you think that you’re emotionally healthy?
Do you have moments where you strike out at others verbally or physically?
It’s amazing how we’ve all been hypnotized into believing that attacking others verbally is perfectly normal and healthy.

Babies and Power
I remember when my oldest child was born.

She had this eternally wise expression on her face (ok, she is a bit of a genius). And, like all other babies, she had no real understanding of the world around her.

But she was born knowing how get our attention, and get the care that she needed to survive.
