Bell Hooks Quotes

Love Was Always And Only About Good Feeling. In Early Adolescence When We Were Whipped And Told That These Punishments Were 'for Our Own Good' Or 'I'm Doing This Because I Love You,' My Siblings And I Were Confused. Why Was Harsh Punishment A Gesture Of Love? As Children Do, We Pretended To Accept This Grown-up Logic; But We Knew In Our Hearts It Was Not Right. We Knew It Was A Lie. Just Like The Lie The Grown-ups Told When They Explained After The Harsh Punishment, 'This Hurts Me More Than It Hurts You.' There Is Nothing That Creates More Confusion About Love In The Minds And Hearts Of Children Than Unkind And/or Cruel Punishment Meted Out By The Grown-ups They Have Been Taught Should Love And Respect. Such Children Learn Early On To Question The Meaning Of Love, To Yearn For Love Even As They Doubt It Exists.
