As children these people never learned to experience their feelings, to feel comfortable with them to understand them. But it doesn't work. Cheated of their feelings, they begin to steal, to destroy property, and to ignore the feelings and rights of others. Others were using them, innocent victims, to compensate for the humiliation they had once suffered themselves. For there is no way for mistreated children to defend their rights.
Society shares their ignorance.
It puts these young people in reform schools, where they can perfect their destructive behavior at the expense of others while continuing to destroy themselves. We often hear people say that vandalism is on the increase nowadays, that young people were not always as violent, inconsiderate, and brutal as they are today. But if it is actually true that today's youth are becoming increasingly unstable, then I wonder if it might not have something to do with the advancing technology surrounding childbirth and the manipulation of babies through medication, which make it impossible for newborns to experience their feelings and to orient themselves in terms of those feelings. I see a direct connection between infants tranquilized with drugs who can find no better alternatives in later life, and the adolescents in the bars whom I have just described. The only legal way to act out rage openly and violently in peacetime is in disciplining one's children.
