“I can often perceive when someone is experiencing mental suffering or physical pain.” However, there is a frequent misconception about this ability because not everything is always visible. For instance, physical damage, which is rarely apparent in cases of mental abuse. This aspect bears a resemblance to the secrets kept by neighbors, but nothing could be further from the truth. Another form of mental abuse is often found in close proximity. Consider, for example, the religious manipulation exerted by parents on children, which can take quite extreme forms. In such cases, the sense of self-worth and self-esteem is cunningly and premeditatedly undermined at an early stage by the elders, following a predetermined religious pedagogical pattern. This pedagogical concept is then integrated into the context of education, suggesting that it is beneficial for someone’s personal development and well-being to navigate life without encountering problems.
