Hi! Just finished Short Stories by Guy De Maupassant. Gr8 stories.


Is having lead a traumatic childhood reason enough for odd and cruel behavior? Can a person who has been ill treated during his childhood allowed to conduct himself on the same manner.


I point towards Ivan, The Terrible for reference.




He was well not brought up in the best of conditions but was the way he conducted himself during his reign excused because of his earlier experiences?


Is a person who has some bad experiences during his earlier days allowed to kill or ,well, be cruel?


Favor:
Me and you do not know what effect an abused childhood leaves on a person. We'll never know what changes it brings in the grey cells of top floor. Having had a comparatively decent childhood what right do we have to judge those unfortunate beings. They do not want to its just that they cant help it. The have seen things, felt those emotions that just cant be explained by law. They didn't want to be this way but destiny was too stubborn a master to change her decisions. We'll never feel that pain that they did. Neither do I and most probably you want to do so.


Against:
Time heals .
If you want it to. It's all about changing your destiny. So what if you had a troublesome childhood but it was no way the fault of those innocent people on whom you vent your Dark emotions. Change is the way life is led. Time was bad make it good for yourself as well as for others. Being bad just won't help maybe doing good will. You were not treated good. Treat others good. They'll give you the love you craved for all your life. I am not a preacher just a human that's the way I want people to live their life helping someone (well a little bit of malice is not that bad).

Do give your comments and recommend me a gud book.

  1. somethings can be excused on account of a bad childhood and some cant.

    there are so many people who in spite of having a real hard time have turned out just fine. and there are people who havent.

    sometimes people take advantage of having had a hard childhood and blame that on what's their fault in actuality.

  5. People should be allowed to be whatever they are...the boundaries between right and wrong, black and white, good and bad are hazy, unclear and often ambiguous...every action can be accounted for by some circumstance or the other. Every person reacts diffently to what happens around him/her. How can one judge that when one has never gone through the same ? Maybe we would react the same way.

  6. Sometimes..whatever people go through in their childhood is way too much to come out of...Hitler is excused too...no1 gets to play God with humans ..but hey, he wasn't alone..there was a host of messed up people following his orders and doing what he waned...so whos to blame here? The guy who starts things or the ones who watch and do nothing but comment? Everyone is screwed up some way or the other...some prefer to write..some to kill...
