However, the practical difference for those people (not for the children) is that they see that actually no one is blaming the children. Therefore the blaming - the abhorrent aspect - doesn't exist.
And the really practical difference for all LOA practitioners is that when we understand the above, we understand that if we are victims in any way (whether of an abuser; or a disease; or a government policy; or anything else), we claim our own power to solve that problem, not by looking for someone or something to blame, but by taking control of our own minds. | Quoted for truth and excellence.
