Why can “educated” people distinguish between a friendly hug and inappropriate behavior?
When my son was born, I took off from my corporate life, and using my own account, I made a good living trading in the commodities market for two years. What that meant to me was that I got to be with my son all the time during those two years. I was able to provide him with a feeling of love and security that made him open and loving with people. Everyone in the world was his friend. He had never had a reason to doubt that. When he went to pre-school, he still had this mindset. When he had friends, he would sometimes hug them to tell them that he loved them. I was appalled when one day, a teacher suggested that his hugs might be considered “inappropriate”! I was sick to my stomach at the thought that I would have to look into the innocent eyes of a baby, and teach him to stop showing his love. There had never been a complaint from any of his friends. It was the tainted minds of the adults in his environment that were at issue. “Zero-tolerance” is zero thought. It is fly-by-wire, cruis
