I forgot about mentioning one thing:
The two things in this world that make me the most upset, crazy, and
depressed is when I hear about toddlers and children getting killed,
because they are my brethren, and when I see pictures of serial
killers and other criminals as babies and toddlers, and believe me, you
can find it in true crime books. You wonder to yourself "How did a
adorable little wonderful baby grow up into such a horrible monster?"
and then you begin thinking to yourself, like as if you have some
sort of sickness, that wouldn't it better if EVERYONE remained like
a toddler forever. Never grow up if you can help it. Believe me, I
run into horrible adults every single day. I have seen more caring
compassionate and understanding (toddlers don't judge) toddlers
in daycare centers than I have seen adults in some days. I meet
all sorts of nasty adults - I'm not even talking about criminals here,
just mean people you see everyday. Luckily, I have had the luck to
run into some wonderfully nice adults Thank God for that. But it
seems as if there are more "bad" adults than "good adults" compared
to toddlers who are incredibly compassionate and never hurt people.
Parents just keep talking about the "terrible twos". Terrible twos,
don't make me laugh. In fact, some have changed the name to
terrific twos. Two year olds and even 4-5 year olds are much more
sensitive and caring than we ever give them credit for. All we do
is say that children are "egocentric", which to me is a joke and a
lousy excuse. Go to any daycare center and you will find toddlers
that comfort other children, and even adults. I know 2 year olds
that would drop their pacifiers and blankees to the floor if they
saw someone cry and would walk up to them and pat them on their
back. Even in the Oklahoma City bombing (and I have evidence on
this because of trial transcripts), the morning of the bombing, April
19, 1995, in America's Kids daycare center where the 19 children
perished which was the darkest biggest tragedy of the whole
Oklahoma bombing, there was evidence of concern and caring among
toddlers. Parents witnessed no less than 3 incidents of concern and
comforting from toddlers - comforting each other and patting each
other - in a time period of 90 minutes!!
I just had to get this out. Anyway when I see the world in the way
it has become today, I feel more and more like shrinking into
myself. I become more like a toddler every single day because of
this. I never watch news anymore hardly, because I will get very
depressed if I do. And it's not just children getting killed, its adults
hurting and killing each other too. So I just opt for Teletubbies and
Sesame Street. If that is what will make me happy and calm down,
then why not??? Except I can't stand Elmo. But that aside, I'd rather
watch the Teletubbies going "again, again" and "eh-oh" than
watch news about the lousy world we are turning this place into.
Maybe as a parent said on a parenting bulletin board, maybe if
we all had pacifiers, this world wouldn't be where it is now. Maybe there
wouldn't be as much road rage if everyone had passies.
