So, you can say any thing you like to a young child and you still accept that you have no control over how they then respond?
If so, then you can call a child, from birth and for the rest of its life, some thing like "You are a stupid, clumsy slut", and because you think that you can not access their emotions, and only they can, then how they respond to you is
entirely up to them? If this is what you think or believe is true, then what would that make 'you', as the parent of that child? Would you not be responsible in any way, shape, or form for how they person responds to you?
What about if that child hated you and wanted to kill you, because you have put that child down all of its life, and told you so and even tried to kill you, is absolutely every response to you
entirely "up to them" or of their own doing?
By the way have you ever heard of 'empathy' and how empathy IS a way of actually being able to access the emotions of others?
Have you also ever heard of, or have you ever been able to 'put yourself into the shoes of others'? If you have, and you have done or do do this, then this might show you how what you do actually say to others can and does influence them. In fact what people say to their very own selves influences them in more ways than what is even recognized yet, in the days of when this is being written. What people say to themselves has far more of an impact then people realize, YET.
What you are saying here, besides the "I can not access emotions part", is very true by the way, but only in relation to a fully Self-aware, and responsible, being. But in all truth how many of them actually exist at the moment?
No matter what you say, or even do, 'you' do NOT control Me. Only 'I', as a fully in control Self, allow what happens in My Life.
