Contagion
A woman has two children with her husband, who is a drive instructor. Several years ago, she let her sister’s daughters come to live with her in her house, because these children weren’t performing well at school. Last year, she found out that her eighteen year old niece, was having an affair with her husband. Her little niece had grown up and had become pregnant of her husband. This woman feels very betrayed and is emotionally damaged. She is emotionally unstable and wants to murder her husband because he destroyed her life. I can imagine this, but still, it remains a sin to commit a murder. She went to a black magician who was willing to kill her husband through black magic for nine hundred euro’s. She got an offer from somebody that would kill him in cold blood for seven hundred euro’s. She chooses for the last mentioned alternative. Her future looked promising, except if she would kill her husband. She would take my advice to not kill her husband in consideration.
This example shows that hardly anyone can be trusted. You can embrace someone with your whole heart, but can get a knife in your back when you turn around. Always protect yourself from this tortures and watch your back. Be alert. There always will be someone in your near environment who sees virtue in you or your partner to ‘have in possession’. One needs to realise that every form of luck or happiness is desired and being envied. One wants to have what others have and will try to get this too. This ‘me too’- feeling implies that there is contagion of feelings. One wants to have the positive experience(s) of someone else and doesn’t hesitate to ‘walk over dead bodies’ just to get this. A decent person would have had respect for her aunt and been grateful for the things she has done for her. Self sacrifice for someone else is often not appreciated. Therefore, thankfulness needs to be teached. And this is not possible if you do not give your child a sacrifice alternative, whereby one choice is at the expense of the other choice. The scarcity problem of economics offers a way to open the feelings of gratitude. So, do not spoil your child too much and teach your child that there are limits. Let your child choose, in stead of giving everything ‘for free’.
