Parents should not, just as punishment for a child should not, be vindictive, but rather instructive, as it should also be for adults, for all souls. Letting go is a key component in life. Things don't happen to people as a punishment from above. Once one understands the purpose of one's soul, one begins to see that society, government, environmental concerns, social dilemmas, future goals, mankind, social programs, all take on a different light. The purpose of assisting souls should be productive, be unobstructed, and be successful in the quest to fulfill the purpose for which they were sent.
Victims are souls that have been wounded in their journey in life.
Victims all have one thing in common, a loss of some type. Victims all have to find a way of letting go. It would help them find peace by knowing that each and every soul has a purpose. It would help knowing that having lived and experienced life is that purpose. An injured soul must be set free.
