Dear David,
I appreciate that you take time out of your busy schedule to
express your opinion. However,
I am talking about the inner emotional and spiritual damage of a child from my
experience and now a counselor for twenty years helping those who have been
maltreated from those blocking love in their lives.
When a critic, or famous person says something is good, that does
not make it so. A critic is
a person with a bias and personal history that influences their comments. Is
this really a loving play or people projecting anger and rage on younger people
who have no choice in their lives? We need to think for ourselves and not
listen to experts, critics, or follow the crowd.
Why would a critic find this so wonderful unless they are so
unhappy themselves they wish to spread it around? Abuse comes from hatred, unhappiness,
fear, and emotional insecurity. Would our lives be better if we improved our
attitudes to spread love to all, and love our neighbors as ourselves? What does
your heart tell you?
People who are abused pass it on in the family
and to their friends. Their
soul and essence has been damaged. The
Bible says this passes through six generations. I choose to stop it with me and
not pass it on. This explains why the childhood abuse of celebrities like
Johnny Carson and Michael Landon re-created their abuse in their adult lives.
Abuse has to stop with everyone if we want peace on earth.
Abuse is always the basis of the violence in
our lives in relationships, communities, and countries. The results of abuse
which is stopping love, are
shootings in theaters, schools, bombing buildings, even wars, etc. The anger passed
on in the family finally increases within the damaged child to their “wounded
inner child” inside an adult and it has to blow. Then the abused person hurts someone
else homicide or themselves, called suicide. When you love yourself, you do not
hurt others or yourself. Let there be love and let it begin with me, is the
most useful comment in our nation.
Mother Teresa said, “Not being wanted is the worst disease.” The show, "Matilda", begins
with her not being wanted by her father or mother as the play moves into more
betrayal and disloyalty from her parents and surroundings. This is certainly not what
my all-loving God would want for children to experience. The child is seen as property upon which to
project their personal anger. This is a real problem society needs to expose
and change. Healthy
children are wanted, cared for, and given respect as a person and a loved member
in a family. Love breeds love, abuse breeds abuse. Which do you choose?
In Charlie
in the Chocolate Factory, he was loved by his parents and grandparents. He
had a loving heart from a nurturing family. That love manifested into a winning
ticket for him. This is a
great lesson. Love brings
heaven to earth.
For your information, I have been a musician all my life. I have a
degree in music. I
have traveled as far as New York and Canada
Today, I know we are all looking for love in the wrong
places. This is the dilemma
of the human race. The
powers that run the world have encouraged this through all parts of our
society. They produce
violence to take our focus of what is “real”. As in the musical "Pippin",
he says, that it was “all between his ears”. Now we have the opportunity to bring
loving “reality” to musical theater and come from our hearts for children and
all. The little child in
each of us can finally grow up into maturity and find that love is--that is
reality.
Another review by the audience. · Sequim, WASaw MATILDA THE MUSICAL
8/25/2015. This is not a cute, sweet show for young children ....they
just wouldn't get the story.
I appreciate your thoughtfulness of the extra tickets, addressing
this issue, and being concerned.
Blessings,
