How to Survive Your Parents

anyone weaker than yourself-with a weak husband or your children.
    When a chance to dominate presents itself, we feel alive and powerful, important, brave and secure. Given someone weaker to dominate, we feel relief-the same relief our parents felt in ruling us after a lifetime of being ruled themselves. Alas, these "good" feelings of security are at the expense of others; our happiness rests on the destruction of theirs, on degrading them and making them sacrifice and suffer. It is all a deception based on the ego principle of comparison and relativity. From a basic madness a greater madness is always evolving and manifesting. The enemy you hate and fear and would flee is actually becoming you inside you!
     Alas, the truly guileful are rarely awakened by suffering as the sincere person is. I am trying to say that if you can accept these hard truths, the chances are that you have been but a victim of the cycle (evil evolving evil), and therefore may hope for salvation. For what child could emerge unscathed from the traumas of family violence?
     What a dilemma! You run from Mr. Mean to Mr. Nice; then, to escape the hell of power raised in you through living with a weakling, you run screaming from Mr. Nice to Mr. Mean, only to find yourself living as a weakling with the "father" you hated as a child!
    The female guile is everywhere, perverting all relation­ships. A woman with a man inside her can be sexually attracted to a man with a woman inside him. Her male­ness can make her feel as though she is married to her own mother; or to his (his mother being similar to her own). What I am saying is that the confusing female spirit intruding where it does not belong fouls up all healthy life and love relationships.
