ROBERT J. BURROWES: The idea that each child is the only one of their
kind in all of living creation in Earth’s history and, therefore, has a
unique destiny to fulfill, never even
enters their mind. So, instead of nurturing that unique destiny so that
the child fully becomes the unique Self that evolution created, adults
terrorize each child into becoming just another more-or-less identical
cog in the giant machine called ‘human society’.
