Hello...
I don't think I wrote that I wanted to break someone's face, I wrote:
"This report was really to vomit with shame and disgust, if I had to meet such people in my youth-despite my taste for philosophy-I think I would have smashed their face ..."
Note in italics the first part of this sentence: "This report was really to vomit with shame and disgust" which explains why you are all busy contesting it.
Why this sentence, because obviously we were taken for cons ...
In bold italics:
"if I had had to meet such people in my youth - despite my taste for philosophy" or those who know me better will read the nuance, when we are young we are more impulsive, but I always had the luck or the intelligence not to frequent Snob BCBG which unfortunately I could not avoid at school ... which did not prevent me from understanding them ... and from receiving their confidences ...
And finally in bold, underlined
: "I think I would have busted their face…" please note the: "I think so" which introduces a doubt, which totally escaped our two main victims of the documentary (which for once was, caricatural, frumpy, reductive and bordering on vulgar in the broadest sense of the term) and to our environmental friends who already know better where to turn as far as I am concerned ...
Did67 tells us:
"Even for the kid, you have to see that when you adopt an extreme choice, you have to revise your position in relation to the children. I trained mine in the depths of the African bush, and I could not help but ask myself the question: "by what right to impose that on them?" ... There, the idea; "to each his life, by definition, I respect since I ask that one respects me", seems to me admissible (even if I also, it was itching to stick one on him, to the kid) ... "
What I stand for is the idea that this obsession with trying to keep our kids safe from everything is
1 °: very "modern" and the fact of people who have the means to put up with the slightest whim of their children ... one of my kids, come back from school 16 years old and announces to us: "the school trip next year this goes to Italy and will cost 1000 € ". There, I ask her, if she thinks that we can decently pay 2 months rent for a 10-day expedition to Italy… she, that did not pose a problem to her…
So if your children are educated in ignorance of your material and financial worries, you have set out to make them first-class "over consumers", which they already are by the force of marketing which attacks them all the time.
2 °: Harmful, because life on this planet is hard and merciless, protected the kids from everything does not help them, on the contrary…
3 °: and regarding your kid, I believe that when she grows up, she will talk to you about traveling with "stars in her eyes" (unless she is very ungrateful, which I do not wish you)
This will clarify the point of view on what I have written, I hope.
Do not lose sight, that on a forum, the words if they remain are not (as in a conversation) always understood, you give us a nice illustration…
I stop my very long answer ... and wish you to discover the meaning of this life which is so dear to all of us in the respect and understanding of the other.
With greetings from Lietseu
