The Killing Jar

You birthed disappointing loin fruit. Let’s face it, your kids are not measuring up. It’s not that they can’t function. It’s not that they’re dumb or unable to care for themselves. It’s that they lack human empathy and basic human instincts pertaining to love and bonding. They can’t bond. Furthermore, they won’t bond and humans NEED the capacity to bond in order to achieve great things. That’s the human success story: kinship, love and loyalty. Your dunsel children are incapable of it. They trudge through life as damaged biological robots. They function in isolation, until they are easily manipulated into emulating others. They fake it yet, never truly make it.

Want proof that something is wrong with your children? My neighbour walks her puppy, a beautiful young beagle. This dog is adorable and sweet. Time and time again this neighbour comes across children who completely ignore her puppy. Not only do they ignore it; when introduced, the children DO NOT even attempt to pet it. There is NO love there, NO curiosity or interest in this irresistible soft puppy. These children feel broken, as cold as psychopaths. It’s gotten to the point where my friend has now grown suspicious of most children. I don’t blame her. The phenomenon reveals a societal monstrosity which was no doubt exacerbated by the pandemic. And what does the future hold? Can a civilization of dog-ignorers even call itself human?

I have worked with hardened criminals. I have counseled them, entertained them and even called a few my friends. I have known men who killed – murderers, thugs and thieves. What they all had in common was one basic rule – only a bastard harms a dog. Even police dogs are only considered the enslaved arms of the law, to be spared if possible. The dog has long stood as eidolon to the lost childhood of criminals. A man who harms a dog forfeits everything and begins with his humanity. Criminals never trust a man who won’t pet a dog. Imagine their shock upon discovering that countless children are no longer moved by an instinctive love of dogs? The future looks grim with a population bereft of human empathy or love, a society even criminals cannot abide.

The point? There is something WRONG with your children. There, I said it. Whether it’s exposure to social media or micro plastics in their blood, the result is the same. Your children are beyond abnormal, they’re broken. Normal children LOVE dogs and are intellectually curious explorers with affection for animals. If your children are neither, everything in the world should be done to correct this defect. This should include intense therapy and counseling, even dietary changes and drugs. It may even include voluntary sterilization of the parents. Yes, YOU. Society is already struggling with its humanity, it does NOT need more of your weird apathetic dog-ignoring children.

Did you think this glitch would correct itself? Did you think love and humanism would sprout from this kind of childhood apathy? We’re collectively headed for a dystopian society of Ted Bundy clones if no one puts a stop to this. With the laws of nature always striving for balance, it also means Philip. K. Dick was right. A minority of children born to your apathetic dog-ignoring loin fruit will no doubt be born with crippling levels of deep empathy. Those few who don’t succumb to early suicide will likely live in forced exile far from the adult dog-ignoring nimrods who birthed them and even farther from the hapless grandparents who did not concern themselves with the obvious.
