Hi,

I appreciate you taking the time to read. I actually think though that the lack of conclusion IS the conclusion here. I'm just one person. I'm not a philosopher or an ethicist, and I think the question of why some people "hurt people" and others do not belongs in those fields rather than mine. I absolutely do not believe that access to therapy or therapeutic healing techniques is the answer: my parents are both college-educated individuals who have PhDs, and they were and continue to be abusive. My mother is a therapist, for heaven's sake, and she remains married to the man who sexually abused me as a child. If the answer can be easily explained by "access", wouldn't you think they would be first in line to heal? If the answer were explained by access, we would see healing and wealth coincide statistically, and poverty and abuse coincide. Yet wealth and healing do not always go together.
