Ending Poverty To End The Cycle Of Abuse.

Being abused as a child doesn't make you later a child abuser yourself. But it can, because it gives you a poor outlook on life. But being abused can also make you a better person. It depends on many factors, including the choices you make in life.

Poor people tend to commit more crime, because of need. A Rockefeller would never steal a Cadillac or bread, because they can easily afford both. Of course they have a saying, when a poor person kills to eat, it's called murder. When a rich person kills a worker, it called a labor issue.

But on average, rich people tend to do things like abuse their children less, because they are less likely to have emotional issues like that. They also may be gentler on average. The word "gentle" came to mean kinder in the 11th Century. But it really just means of noble birth. Because people noticed people of noble birth seemed to be more "gentle" in their manners, and apparently treatment of others. But that is only because they experienced less abuse as a child. Like the story of The Princess and the Pea, they never knew harsh physical contact themselves. But of course in many ways that also meant they really didn't understand what the poor people in their kingdom was going thru. When a noblewoman in the 18th Century saw the peasant rioting, she asked her servant why. Her servant said because they have no bread. She replied "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" meaning "Then why don't they eat cake?" because she really didn't understand. Also, as I tell people, the judicial punishments of the past were often brutal, because the noblemen of the time thought that it was necessary to maintain order. It never really was.

In conclusion, raising everyone here on earth up to at least he middle class should solve most social problems associated with that. And letting parents know that is it never necessary to hit your kid, should take care of the rest, by ending that cycle.
