It is hypothesised that it's why we invented gods and monsters - "why'd that big fucking rock fall on Dave? God hated him..."<br /><br />Our problem in the late 20th/early 21st century is that we have monetised that psychology and use it to score money from loaded targets.<br /><br />I can't condemn it because I too am a human monkey but I sure as hell won't promote or excuse it. Just call it what it is - people being people, looking for *someone* to hold to account for life's shitty strokes.Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02611541853278115075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-43544315955758955052011-09-24T15:45:18.747+01:002011-09-24T15:45:18.747+01:00"We have to bury him first.

Then we'll need to ask questions."</i><br /><br />Ermmm "Is he still breathing?" might be something you'd want to ask... in general I mean.<br /><br />But yes, as horrible as it is that a child loses his/her life these things do happen. I think personally I would be more at peace believing I'd lost a child through a simple accident rather than forever wrestling with the notion that someone whom by inaction or omission had 'killed' my child.John Pickworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166443099429490782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-15657910731486709422011-09-24T14:07:42.007+01:002011-09-24T14:07:42.007+01:00Terrible.
