Talking about love or lack of love

When talking about love there is always a tendency to say that there is no greater love than a mother's love. I also dare to say that the love of a father has sometimes been said to be as great as that of a mother.

When parents are away for any circumstance in life it has also been said that grandparents are the best. They are so spoiled that the children claim they do for the grandchildren what they never did for the children. It is a different level of love from grandparents.

I was never able to enjoy the love of my grandparents because my parents emigrated from their country and in these lands, I loved no one could be my grandparents. Here there were no aunts, no cousins, no grandparents... nothing.

I always missed the figure of a grandfather who would spoil me like my friends' grandparents did in my childhood.

The theme that attracted me was not so much the theme of love as the theme of lovelessness. How is it possible that there are mothers who throw away, give away, kill or mistreat their children to the point of traumatizing them? I have read these last days of so many events of people who do not love and rather have extremely harmed their closest family members.

How can a mother kill her child at birth...? And to complete the damage throw it in the garbage or down the drain. She cannot be a real mother, she must have a defect in her brain that allows her to do this after having carried a child in her womb for nine months and at birth to kill it.

It also happens that she can have him even if she does not want that child and then make his life impossible so that he cannot live his childhood as it should be. I read the case of some parents who had 13 children and all of them were mistreated. From the oldest to the youngest they were subjected to mistreatment, bad hygiene habits, and low food consumption.

They grew up subjected to psycho-terror and were all malnourished. Until one of the older children, a 17-year-old teenager decided to run away and call 911. When the authorities found them they were amazed at the state they were all in.

I have just read in these past two weeks two situations of grandparents abusing their granddaughters.....

Is this possible in an individual who has his brain in good condition?

I don't think so. When you love you protect, not harm. I tend to think in this case that if the grandfather abused his granddaughter, he probably did the same with his children.

I didn't want to write about this topic but everywhere I go these terrible cases of child abuse have resounded in my ears and eyes.

Where is humanity going with this lack of love? Where are we going when we see strange situations in our neighbors we just turn around and pretend we don't know anything or that it is not our problem.

We are growing up on a planet where hate is founded and not love. Where pets are thrown into the street because they no longer serve us. Where we look down on the poor because they are indigent and we no longer believe them to be human beings.

Where is love or lack of love going? Where are we going?
