What Love We Speak Of

We advocate the love of children. Simply, that answer is correct. Yet, there is little simplicity in human beings, and the resolve prompted by love can easily turn from advocating alongside youth to arguing on their behalf, especially among the establishment and parents, who have already claimed the child realm. Humans by nature designate simple thoughts such as affection with complex social attitudes and procedures, thus de-emphasizing the natural relationship. This relationship is the essential socially complex organism that we want to work to simplify for them.

Any complication is avoided when children are on the table, and thoughts as well as insights are portrayed with such conviction and certainty that it produces a tangle of beliefs so knotted that the children are practically left hanging on the end of the advocate's rope by the head. The more grand the explanation, however, the more vivid the picture becomes, and the greater our understanding. So somehow we have to strike the balance between appreciating human relationships as the complex things they are, and not bog it down with unnecessary complications born out of our media-fed preconceptions.

CL is the ultimate emancipation of children from forces that seek to control or minimize their human rights, that among them are the central human liberties extended to all human beings. It is a break from the world of the material and the possessive and a replacement into the world of charity, love, and humility. All of them are traits that define the higher and more beautiful and optimistic aspects of human life. It is necessitated in the modern world, as the caring adult in effect assists in raising that which the parent put into the world. It is a personal choice to help in the raising of the child, out of love and not reward or biological requirement.

This "natural non-parent method" of raising children was nowhere near as complicated or demonized in our collective past. The allowances of general historical templates on which the ideologies are derived from are necessary to understand. They present the modern human being with the destiny of continual change, by representing that most basic principle in the form of what had come before to create the present (that ruled by paper), in order to shape the future (that ruled by love). CL is demonized because it no longer fits in the modern world that has eclipsed its charismatic elements with cold-hearted bureaucracy. It has its roots in the infinite past, and has not been crushed under the bureaucratic rubber stamp--quite the contrary--CL has continued to evolve since the earliest days in human history.

To be continued.
