bitcoin Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Someone mentioned this to me, so I take no credit. Perhaps this has already been done, but it would be a wonderful, progressive idea to write a fiction novel depicting how a society would function with DROs, peaceful parenting, etc. Has this been done because I'd be very interested in reading the book. 1
Lens Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Your idea is very interesting I thought about this as well. Many directors try to depict a tomorrowland without wars, without violence in movies but they failed in it because they failed to talk about where all violence starts which is in the family in childhood. The closest thing I know to what you are looking for is a french movie called “La Belle Verte”. I want to contribute to your idea but differently if there will be a novel about a peaceful world as you describe it I would like to write the preface on how we achieved it so I wrote a Preface. I hope you like it Preface Our world now is finally peaceful but when we read history books we can hardly believe we finally made it to the other side. We know now the fact that most of humans for thousands of years had trauma inflicted on them in childhood and that this changed the way they viewed themselves and others they began to behave toward themselves and others in an unnatural way especially with their children. Violence received in childhood percolated in violence inflicted on others in adulthood. This toxic cycle has been around for thousands of years like beating children in order to make them good and moral adult persons (see Lloyd DeMause) so the whole society back then and for a long time has been believing in things like: violence brings peace, blind obedience is good and violence do good. This unnatural way has become the norm and the "natural” way of thinking. That is why people talked more about the "violent gene" while avoiding condemning their parents violence on them as small children. This guilt attitude has been among humans throughout history and for a long time and this contributed to build a narcissistic society. We do not know how the world would have turned out back then if every child was respected in his/her dignity since birth and since the dawn of time. On the other hand there were very few people who undertook the path to self knowledge, doing therapy and rejecting their parents behaviour altogether this resulted in a big awareness about what we have missed since our birth, the trauma and the difficulty parents have put their children through. After such a breakthrough in therapy these people changed and they became peaceful challenging the dogma that depicted humans as an innately bad and violent specie. These new parents became loving with themselves and with their children and friends, they proved to the world that when children are loved and cared for they do not randomly become criminals. These brave people came to know what they have missed. It was their courage to experience their pain in therapy and to talk about it. Some have written books and others have started a no spank movement. Even though the movement started to grow most people at that time did not investigate their childhood at least not in a profound way for that reason it took humanity a long and painful time to radically change, abandon religions and start a real movement of peace and love not only in songs but in everyday life. Today we finally have a peaceful and empathic society the world now is different. The remaining documents, audio and video files they will forever be a witness about the dark past of humanity so we do not have to repeat the past ever again.
