A mother called an ambulance at the dawn of the day, she is confused. Her 3 year old son lies on the ground of the living room, motionless. When the aid workers from the ambulance try to retrieve information from the mother about what had happend, they experience difficulties. While trying to get some sense out of the mother other aid workers examine the little boy and conclude right away that the boy is dead. They also note that the little boy was still recovering from earlier physical violence, which indicates in what kind of a situation they stepped in. Bit by bit the mother recalls what happend and she later confesses the murder on her son, after police interrogation.
The mother and her boyfriend had been using drugs and alcohol the evening before the aid workers arrived. The little boy had accidently peed his pants, the mom and boyfriend were upset with the child. The confusion turned into irritation and the irritation into demonic madness. The boyfriend picked the child up and started swishing him around the room while hitting the child against the walls and furniture. The boyfriend wasn’t able to stop himself, the drugs brought him in an evil possessed state of mind. The mom joined in after the boyfriend stopped swishing the child around, she pounded on the child’s face and chest like a mad man. When satisfied and physically done with the child they left him on the ground gasping for air. This physical exercise had made them hungry so they ordered a pizza and some more beer. The mom and the boyfriend never bothered again about the child and passed out from the drugs and alcohol. Not until the next morning the mom was awakened by a gurgling sound that came out of her child who still lied on the ground where they left him the other night. Totally upset the mom called the emergency number.
These kind of stories of child abuse are not specific of these times, it has always been amongst us. Though the frequency of these kind of events has noticeably increased and almost everybody knows stories about a family within their neighborhood where murder has taken place. Or the dad kills the children and his wife or the parents kill the children or the children kill the parents. The motives may seem to differ, but all these people are in a state of possession. Wether they planned the crime, acted out of passion or were deluded by drugs/alcohol, they all had thoughts that led eventually up to the killing. In other words the killing was within their understanding the only way to get rid of their problem. It’s 100% secure that the underlining problem, hidden or out in the open, starts with a m….Money.
In most cases where parents kills the rest of the family, the parent has financial problems and kills himself after killing his family. When children kill their parents the underlining issue is almost always money that isn’t given to the child. In the case where the parents kill the children, as in the above example of the 3 year old, these families are in financial instability due to addiction problems.
Lets look at the example again where a parent get so pissed off by it’s own child that it ends up dead. When you as a parent get pissed off whenever your child pees his pants then this reaction is telling more about your state of mind then about the real time situation you are actually participating in. You react because you do not like to clean the mess up or he did already peed his pants today and the memory there of is taking you back in time. You simply do not want to be faced with this issue. When you go through this “I don’t like my current reality, I don’t want to clean up” feeling while on drugs and alcohol, things can get enlarged and out of control. Someone that is an addict isn’t keen on facing his/hers reality in real time to begin with.
So the mom gets pissed off by reacting on a memory about the child peeing his pants and being a pain in the ass. Instead of seeing that she is reacting towards herself she and her boyfriend are physically reacting towards the child. The child does not understand why his mommy is mad and is incapable of defending himself in this situation. The mom and the boyfriend are locked up in their minds by being drunk and high, which results in no what so ever contact with reality. They are in this intoxicated state, because they fear themselves and are too cowardly to face their own problems. Instead of fighting their own issues they are fighting their outside world and this particular evening they perceived this little child as the source of evil they had to fight. What a sad consequence of not facing oneself and what a terrifying fears this child must have had before he died. His mommy, the one person on earth that should protect him from all the evil, turned against him and became evil.
The core question here is of course why this couple intoxicated itself, why have they put themselves outside of society. Did they lose their jobs, their faith in life and therefore faith in themselves. It’s sick that our capitalistic system allows people to end up in such a poor environment with no real help and solutions. If they only had enough money to cover their basic needs, then there was no need for putting themselves outside the society. If alcohol and drugs would not have been available they had been able to go into counseling instead, where they could learn the equality equation and learn that what is best for all is best for them. If they only had a buddy who saw them as an equal and would help them face whatever they had to face in order to cope with life. This could have saved this family instead of locking this mom up in prison waiting for the death penalty. The capitalistic system isn’t allowing us to learn from this situation other then learning how to finger point at another who is clearly more evil then we are. What if you arrive at such a point in your life are you going to finger point at yourself?
All of this suffering isn’t necessary in an Equal Money System, the starting point of lack of money will be taken care of. Who would oppose an Equal Money System when it takes away the suffering of the majority of the people of this earth? You must be intoxicated to fear this step closer to heaven on earth.
