Interpret it pretty literally because I’m a very direct person when expressing myself, only maybe my doubts about everything can mislead people.
I’m a pretty sensitive person and I worked with kids, I see how hard some patterns of parenthood have done such a damage for a kid who in the end, only need an adult who cares for him and is ready to listen to him. This is very important. It gives a child the direct message that what you say, what you feel, what you want....matters. This is the strength for a kid, to feel himself loved, built his own identity and self without being scared or wanting to hide it, denied it...to feel secure enough when exploring the outside.
I was expressing my sorrow for so many wasted lives. And stressing on the idea that many times, it’s not needed a crime like (sexual, physical abuse) to break a life. Also I was taking into account that most of the times, mistreat and neglect is not on purpose but there it is.
