Many people see me as a self-hating mental case. Pro-social self-crucifixion. I do not hate myself nor love myself inherently. My view of myself changes when my accomplishments change, and the proudest accomplishment of mine is summed up by two acronyms. Children self-protect. Adults abstain.
I do not hate myself for anything other than being an adult, as adults as a whole are to blame for the child abuse epidemic - meaning every single one of us, myself included. I am part of a class of persons that society sees as higher, thus I must do the opposite of an adult society that hates children, and lower myself to a level lower than the child, under the child's lawful and judicial command as to their needs.
It says in the Tenth Commandment, in Exodus 20:17 KJV:
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.
The Hebrew word translated "covet" is לחמוד (Latin: lachmod) and refers to not only wanting things from children, but wanting to the point of seeking to impose said want on a child. The Greek root word in the New Testament cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment, refers to entitlement as a whole, meaning deadly entitlement, and is denoted by the Greek root word πλεονεκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to the entitled attitude of "I am a good parent/adult, and so children owe me respect" leading to demanding, controlling, and/or spousifying behavior.
It says in Hebrews 12:5-11 KJV:
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastening. But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? For verily for a few days they chastened us after their own pleasure, that we may be partakers in His holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
This passage is often used to justify spanking children, whereas it has no such purpose, as the biblical context is 100% anti-spanking for children. Language discussing scourging is denoted by the Greek root word μαστγόω (Latin: mastigoo) refer to the rod of correction, meaning a switch that was brought out by a father to an errant adult son in the Old Testament, before being sentenced to death for a capital offense. It was not used on young children at all, as ancient Hebrew culture was an attachment parenting society, meaning parents, namely mothers, were doting and selfless in nature, holding children up to age 3 and treating them as infants, not bragging about any of it. Hebrew parents then just did their job, and didn't complain about it. Parenting was seen as servitude towards an extension of God, meaning your child is extended to you, meaning handed to you, by God for you to care for and protect. But, this means teaching self-discipline, self-control, and independence, and this is denoted by the Greek root word παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refer to knowing one is evil, wicked, and entitled in relation to a child, leading to being convicted as an adult to change as a parent or caregiver. The Greek root word translated "grievous" is λυπέ (Latin: lupé) and refers to the pain, emotional usually, many times necessary to be chastened up as a gentle, non-abusive parent.
Parents and adults shouldn't have pride in relation to children. Only shame and guilt for their mere existence in relation to children. Children allow me to exist, and so does God. I'm grateful, as they could banish me from my existence in relation to them, and I would have to obey.
The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to anger will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them languish in fire and torrents, suffering the second death for all eternity! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
