welcome bell hooks to word on words this book is called all about love new visions that marvelous moment in for me in the book when i'm talking about what do we teach our children about love what is the miseducation we give them and part of the miseducation we give them is that you can violate someone and then say you love them which doesn't mean to say that we we're i'm not saying in the discipline is important because discipline is crucial to any true love with that we have boundaries that we set boundaries um so that i think part of what's happened to us as a nation is we have confused discipline with a kind of blind obedience to authoritarianism whether it's children to parents or us to a government or a nation that is acting in a way that is is is autocratic and wrong [Music] people well love has to do with respect when we we look at children particularly the violence of children against children in our nation right now part of what we're seeing is a lack of care a lack of respect a lack of understanding we're seeing envy i mean envy is a crucial emotion connected to greed and that you want to destroy what you envy when you have a ten-year-old kid wanting to destroy another kid because that kid is more popular or that is something deep and profound that is a deep and profound lovelessness and we can't just talk about it in relationship to what parents are doing we have to talk about it in terms of what we have been saying as a nation what matters to us as a nation one of the things i say in the book is that there can be no love without justice you know there's a line in george bernard shaw and i'll conclude this says must another christ die in every generation to save those who have no imagination as you talk a lot of you have great imagination bill hoax
