The roots of love — the roots of violence

Petar-Krešimir Hodžić

Abstract

According to the latest scientific discoveries, the foundations of every human being are laid already from the very moment of his conception on, during the time of pregnancy and the first three years of life. The roots of love, but also the roots of violence, emerge in all the components of man — in physical, psychological and spiritual spheres. It is established that numerous effects on the child and his future are dependent on the parents' relationship and attitude towards pregnancy and the unborn child. A positive approach including love, acceptance and security, preparation of parents for the conception and pre-natal communication with the baby to be born are beneficial to it in many ways. On the other hand, a negative approach during that period can be deleterious and foster future tendency towards agressivity, unacceptable behavior, various aspects of addiction etc. One can argue that an approach involving the new man based on love appears to have consequences not only on an individual level but in social sphere as well.
