I'm 62 years old and I've only seen his look a few times in my life. You can just see it, not to mention his uncontrollable temper and desire for revenge and animal abuse.
I’m not here to accuse anything, but would still be curious. Could there be some noted hypocrisy going on in his household. Like adult relatives who make a big point of looking good to the world, but are themselves given markedly to some vice in the household. Kids learn as much from example as from moralizing. “Don’t do as I do, do as I say do” is vain for directing a child in life. Not saying that’s the only way this degree of evil can be fomented, but it’s ONE way. Lack of kindness sometimes has roots that pass through earth.
... ultimately the cure for evil is NOT a negative one. It is a positive one, teach goodness.
One thing about the way goodness expresses itself in the world, is that it has a lot of kindness. It is the opposite of cruel. Some children are sensitive and pick up strongly and even obsess on what we might think a trivial cruelty. When teaching a child not to tag along with the devil, we have to not tag along with the devil ourselves.
And there is a firm distinction between this and the hated mindless liberalism that gets such criticism here. People are afflicted with evil, and yet evil is not presumed to need to be anyone’s master.
I have some sympathy with the situation, even though of course none of this misbehavior can be excused. It needs to be told to stop, and yet that in the name of Love Himself, not the name of anything less. Not the name of how it looks. Not the name of how easy a life is. And certainly not in the name of any form of selfishness, which is like grabbing at a life rope that isn’t tied to anything.
