THE FICTIONAL PARENT
|
|
by THE GNN/DualCrew-Shining/uXu
|
|
|
|
|
|
In Sweden, 1998, a seven-year old kid has been reported to the police for
|
|
assault. Apparently, he delivered a blow to the stomach of one of his class
|
|
mates in school. The assaulted kid's parents found this to be a crime that
|
|
needed to be handed over to the justice apparatus of the state for further
|
|
investigation. As a result, two police men paid a visit to the criminal
|
|
kid's house, and interrogated him and his parents on a late Saturday night
|
|
for several hours. The affair has been handed over to the prosecutor, who
|
|
will decide if the kid must go to court for his deed.
|
|
To one's surprise, these absurdities were highly appreciated by the
|
|
people. No criticism has yet been put forward. On the contrary, everyone
|
|
seems to agree that it is high time "to end the squeamishness that
|
|
constitutes the community founded on the rule of law of today" (actual
|
|
quote). A crime is crime, no matter the age of the offender. Crimes ought to
|
|
be reported to the police. Hence, if a kid commits a crime, it ought to be
|
|
reported, end of story.
|
|
But what is a crime? An immoral action, one could say. Murder, theft,
|
|
rape, assault, arson, conspiracy and blasphemy, to mention a few examples.
|
|
But who is a criminal? If a meteorite falls down from the sky and kills
|
|
someone, would we claim that this heavenly body was of the criminal kind?
|
|
Of course not. Something is missing: the intention. Only human beings can
|
|
be criminals, because only we can separate Good from Evil, Right from Wrong,
|
|
and actively (intentionally) choose to act in one way or the other.
|
|
Sociopaths and psychopaths are hard to label 'criminals', no matter which
|
|
criminal action they perform, since they actually do not know that their
|
|
action in question was 'wrong'. They lack the intelligence needed for having
|
|
any kinds of Good or Evil intentions at all. (Of course, no immoral action
|
|
can be justified merely because it was performed by a psycho; it is still
|
|
an immoral (wrong) action, but it cannot be called 'criminal' if we agree
|
|
that someone must have a genuine intention of doing wrong if that is to be
|
|
the case.)
|
|
There exists a sparkling clear reason why we use the term 'criminal',
|
|
not 'wrong', when we speak about certain actions. And this reason is the
|
|
need for intention of wrongness in the action. That a person was killed by a
|
|
meteorite we might (if we adhere to some form of moral objectivism) refer to
|
|
as 'wrong' (or 'bad'), yet without claiming that there existed any
|
|
intention of the rock in question. But a criminal act is wrong, because it
|
|
was performed with the intention of doing wrong. Accidents are not regarded
|
|
as criminal actions, and if you take a minute to think about it you will
|
|
understand why. If we blur the edges between these two notions, we are in
|
|
deep trouble.
|
|
As we grow up, we develop. What we learn to do, we learn by doing. We
|
|
observe not merely that people are hurt when we strike them, we learn what
|
|
this thing called 'hurtness' is; that it is a painful thing to experience,
|
|
and that we partially connect 'pain' with 'something bad'. This is surely
|
|
trivial, because hardly no one believes that we are born with all necessary
|
|
knowledge in our minds? But if one is to interpret the latest debate
|
|
concerning the contemporary task of the justice apparatus, people actually
|
|
believe this. The seven-year old kid wanted to do wrong. He was well aware
|
|
of the notions of Right, Wrong, Good, Evil, and decided to act evil. His
|
|
fully developed intentions made him a true criminal.
|
|
Well, I must have missed something. I had no clue that kids were so
|
|
aware nowadays. When I was seven years old, I believed that Santa Claus
|
|
existed, that Earth was flat, and that I was the centre of the world. If
|
|
someone had asked me what the notions Right and Wrong implied, I would not
|
|
have known what to say. I must have been extremely stupid for my age,
|
|
contrary to the children of today.
|
|
So you understand that I am ironic. Perhaps you say that "well, the kid
|
|
did not understand what Right and Wrong was, but surely he will learn now,
|
|
as the police visited him, that he did something wrong?" Oh, perhaps he
|
|
will. But why could not the parents have taught him this simple fact? Need
|
|
we start using force again to learn our children basic concepts?
|
|
Psychological abuse leaves no visible marks on the body, so therefore it is
|
|
better than fists and whips? I hardly believe this seven-year old kid has
|
|
learned what is Right and Wrong, but I am convinced that the justice
|
|
apparatus once again has successfully created a potential terrorist, a
|
|
psychological disturbed individual whom will never trust authorities, other
|
|
people or himself.
|
|
Who is to blame? The police? Certainly not (unless you believe in lame
|
|
conspiracy theories). If our society has been made in such a way that we
|
|
find it acceptable that parents leave their task of raising children to the
|
|
state apparatus, something is terrible wrong with ourselves. It seems like
|
|
the name of the game today is to falsely believe that every part, every
|
|
little problem, of human life can be securely laid in the soft hands of
|
|
authority, even though they might not have the knowledge, wit and virtue to
|
|
handle such problems. But why bother? Why blame oneself, when one can create
|
|
the world in such a way that authority is always to blame for every problem?
|
|
We have already separated the concepts 'state', 'system', 'authority' from
|
|
ourselves to that extent that we believe that our world is built upon a 'us'
|
|
and 'them' (were 'they' always works against 'us'); even though we are
|
|
actually they, and they are us. If someone says that 'the system does not
|
|
work' what he really says is 'we do not work'. But this he cannot say,
|
|
because 'we' partially implies himself, and no one wants to blame himself
|
|
for any wrongdoing.
|
|
Even though it is a false thought, it feels good. And feeling is
|
|
everything. Therefore: let us leave all problems to the justice apparatus.
|
|
A seven-year old kid who strikes his mates in the belly is a hard-core
|
|
criminal that must be punished, not educated and raised properly. Why let
|
|
the real parents do any work at all, when we have got The System to do it
|
|
for us with the help of legally approved bitch slaps and cold showers?
|
|
All other suggestions are "squeamish", the antithesis to healthy Christian
|
|
military solutions fancied by obscure federations as 'the moral majority'.
|
|
Forget about intentions. Forget about complicated issues. Let us all do it
|
|
the easy way. Let us not only create a fictional parent, "the justice
|
|
apparatus" (or whatever you prefer to call the invisible ghost), but let us
|
|
let it raise our children, and ourselves too. Then we can do as we please,
|
|
life will be a nice state of joy and play, because we can always lean back
|
|
and blame our fictional parents when something goes wrong. We never ever
|
|
have to take any responsibility, we never need to think for ourselves
|
|
anymore; complex problems lead to painful thoughts as we try to solve them,
|
|
the simple remedy has always been intellectual drowsiness, ignorance.
