I have no desire to change your view; nor anyone else’s.
I only gave voice to my personal view.

As you are probably are aware ~ the sidewalk you walk on is not the sidewalk I walk on.

I am grateful for the openness of the spirit of your blog that allows this to occur.

I certainly understand the need to end child abuse. And making people conscious of it is part of the process. But that must be done through awareness and education, through presenting alternatives and solutions. If we simply present what is wrong, we amplify that which we are against.

This quote may help illustrate this:
“I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there.”
– Mother Teresa

There is a simple principle that what you put your attention on grows stronger. Thus, seek what you want, not what you hate.

I can also observe you highlight my point about fame. Micheal becomes the poster-boy for abuse, long after he grows up. I can ask which made his life more difficult- a father with an agenda or millions of fans with an agenda?

I am not suggesting any blame here. Just an observation that may help clarify.

Namaste arises from within.

I respect your memory of him.

However, for me ~ when I hear his music I shall always have a picture of that precious little boy, with a smile that lit up the world, being terrorized daily by the parents that were supposed to make the world safe for him.

I have chosen to speak out against child abuse. Because attention must be paid for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Same diamond ~ just a different view of facets. Yes?

Perhaps a more useful model would be to consider what we might learn from the experience. I’m sure he would much rather we remember him for his music than the circus that developed around him.
