“What is addiction, really? It is a sign, a signal, a symptom of distress. It is a language that tells us about a plight that must be understood.” Alice Miller*

like to comment on this quote?
This is indeed what God is seeing as well. The
suffering, the despair, the disappointment, the worries, the grief that hide behind
addictions. And often, not always, it is the cause of addictions. Therefore,
mankind and its addictions are considered by the spiritual world with love and
without judgment.
Addictions are severely condemned by mankind
and are indeed corrupt and streets coming to a dead end. But God sees the
backgrounds and sees what eventually will lead to life experience and insight.
God does not even judge the behaviour, not even the effects of addictions, not
even the addict himself. It is useless and leads to nothing. But understanding
of the hidden causes, understanding of the inability of the addicted and loving
care of these men in need are cherished by God.
Alice Miller has made her life work on this
subject and has done so with great wisdom, much love and much psychological
knowledge. Her work is a blessing for mankind.
Alice Miller is blessed.
My blessings to you all
