Create the atmosphere for change in attitudes towards perpetrators hovering over prey children know how to hunt instinctively to harm intentionally may not come as an innate process in our children learning how to survive in a foreign hostile unkind environment despite a modicum of intelligence truth be told I lacked conscience realize it took years for me to see the harm I mastered as a child even if I could wipe the slate clean I would learn nothing about ethics nothing about the good the beautiful the true in each person I meet
Indeed I hurt others by way of language games unaware as a boy never to do lasting damage only to play as children play for fun
Jinxed perhaps by my birth to travel the whole world yet to never return even for one moment to India homeland of this heartbroken boy only I did not know the arbitrariness of birth of life and death perhaps this little boy never could understand Moses' ten commandments alcoholism played a role in my family dynamics acting out reassured my parents I needed attention as a small latch-key kid diminutive in name and stature to other boys even my brother yet I learned to compete against other bullies by seeking out wisdom
