The Darkest Nothing: Paraphrenia Quote
Raud: Don't get me wrong... I just don't understand it... She had unconditional love from both of us! We never forced her to do anything, we never had any rules... She could feel the love, we had our focus on her...
William: Are you asking yourself if love can actually harm a person?
Raud: YES, no!... I mean, I don't really know how the human mind works... I always thought that love can help someone become a better person...
William: Sometimes a person has a darker side... Is it the DNA? Is it our food, the environment? Nobody knows... The best possible conditions can be equal to the worst possible ones. An orphan might have some better chances sometimes to become a well-balanced human. People who have suffered in their childhood can sometimes achieve higher goals... Judy didn't have any experiences, she was lucky enough to have a beautiful home, two lovely parents, never had problems in school, she was never abused, sexually or otherwise... There is lack of experience and possibly enough room for exploring the dark side, especially after hitting puberty... The reality of darkness and awful events is usually mild compared to our fantasy... She kept fantasizing about all the awful weird things that many people are experiencing in their lives...
Raud: Do you mean that raising a child in the best possible way is equal to leaving the child alone and never taking any sort of care? Is that what you are saying?
William: Don't get me wrong. It is only a theory...
