Quote From: mr_lionThere's probably a reaction on the part of you Niece because of the "Forced Heterosexism" that she had to live under since before she could remember. If her intent is love, then so be it.
Your neighbor simply having the attraction is doing no harm. If his intent was to harm, If he forced himself on boys against their will, that is abuse and he should be in prison. Hurting a child or forcing oneself on anyone is unacceptable.
Your nephew being on drugs and alcohol is only the symptom. I would guess that your nephew is repressing his natural homosexuality and/or other emotions - the drugs and alcohol serve to numb out the true feelings.
The neighbor in the other state is suppressing his homosexuality - the symptom? Beating his wife. He hates all women, all that is feminine. He's a likely candidate to rape and beat men in prison as well.
Perhaps you are suppressing something?
You are obviously confused between consent and force (rape).
Look to the WORD within your heart.
As above, you seem to be asking this question because you are confused between consent and force - hurting someone. When you act on an impulse that involves harming another soul, you incur negative karma.
You're saying the neighbour who has an attraction to little boys is doing him no harm?
And you're a psychologist?????
It is doing him harm and he'll likely, as he had, acted on his attractions. This man, if he's only just attracted and not doing anything needs intensive treatment to deprogram him. I'm not a psychologist and i know that.
What's this 'karma"? I didn't think a psychologist would use that phrase. Do you believe in reincarnation?
