JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY DID LOUSY THINGS TO YOU AND YOU TURNED OUT OKAY, DOES NOT MEAN IT IS OKAY TO KEEP ON DOING LOUSY THINGS---ANDRE PETERSON CHILD ABUSE CASE

I keep reading in the Andre Peterson child abuse matter about how many young people have been thumped around by their parents over the years, and, this being the case, it must be okay because otherwise why did not all such kids turn out to be bank robbers or serial killers?  

Sure. 

My parents left me out to be raised by wolves I turned out just fine! 

My parents sold one of my kidneys when I was a boy to pay gambling debts and I turned out just fine!

My parents kept me out of school to be a youth pastor for Reverend Moon and I turned out just fine!

If something lousy happened before and you did not become a serial killer, then it must be that whatever took place before was a blessing in disguise & everything did indeed turn out for best & all things happen for a reason & it is okay to keep on doing lousy stuff. 

Somewhere along the line--how about now?--we have to decide that we are going to live in a more kind and peaceful way.
