It Is Not That Children Are Too Noisy, but That Society Cannot Hold Emotion:
When Collective Consciousness Begins Rejecting the "Real Child"
The reaction in the room is often far more than acoustic disruption.
It also carries judgmental stares, evaluations, pressure, and silent disapproval.
People frown, display impatience, or directly criticize:
"Why don't they control their kid?", "If you bring them out, take care of them", "So noisy"
Thus, a phenomenon gradually emerges: society begins rejecting real children.
Yet looking deeper, this is not a simple "dislike of children."
1. A Collective Anxiety Toward "Emotional Loss of Control"
In the perspective of the Lapis Light System, the emotional expression of toddlers is the most natural, unadorned state of being. Yet modern society has grown accustomed to:
- Orderly structure
- Controllability
- Not disturbing others
Therefore, when a child displays an "uncontrollable" state, it triggers a collective discomfort: "This should not exist."
2. What Society Rejects Is Not the Child, but the "Unmanageable State"
A child's crying symbolizes:
- Instability
- Unpredictability
- Inability to be regimented
And these are precisely what modern society strives hardest to evade. Consequently, people convert this inner anxiety into:
- Judging the parents
- Suppressing the child
- Rejecting such situations altogether
Yet in essence, it is the primal fear of losing control.
3. Such Collective Consciousness Is Putting Pressure on Parents
When these judgmental gazes surround them, parents bear not only the raw emotions of their child, but also external pressures:
- Evaluations
- Comparisons
- Oppression
Consequently, parents are far more prone to:
- Anxiety
- Rushing to silence the child
- Doubting their own worth
This is not because they are failing as parents, but because they are absorbing pressure from two distinct arenas simultaneously.
4. What We Truly Lack Is a "Culture of Holding Emotion"
If a society cannot hold the emotions of children, it signifies that this society cannot hold human emotions in general. The child is merely the rawest manifestation.
5. Transformation Is Not Demanding the Child to Be Quiet, but Changing How We Look
When we no longer treat a child's crying as an interference, but perceive that a living soul is experiencing a somatic state, the entire energetic space begins to transform.
The existence of a child
Is not meant to conform to the world's rigid order,
But to remind us:
Life is naturally fluid, chaotic, and in need of being held.
When society is willing to relearn this truth,
Not only will children be allowed,
Even adults will finally be permitted to become their authentic selves.
