But What of the Children?
I am back with, guess what? Another highly emotionally charged and controversial topic: feeding off of children. This is certainly a hot topic in the community. Is it ethically or morally right or wrong to take energy from a child? What do we define as a child? Oh, so many questions! Sadly, I can’t give you the answers. I do not have them. But, what I will give you is my perspective on the idea.
Recently, this question was put to our general list. I was (regrettably) not surprised by the reaction and quite disappointed. Rather than discuss the issue reasonably, many who responded reacted with their emotions. It was even suggested we drop the conversation! But I refuse to let us take an easy way out. People do not like to discuss this situation because it is a taboo….. People, for the love of Chi! Some of us ingest blood for energy! I find it a little hard to believe we can not have an adult conversation about the prospect of children as energy sources. Are we objectifying the children? No, not necessarily so. As with an adult, we are looking at the aspect of the children as a sustaining source of energy. I mean, let’s face it: we look for people with heightened energy when we look for a donor. Children have energy in abundance. Anyone that is a parent or who has watched over children or even just spent a period of time with children knows this to be a fact.
I feel a lot of the negative stigma about feeding from children comes from a misunderstanding about what happens when a vampiric person feeds. Feeding is not a one way street people. It is an exchange of energy. The vampire uses a string of their energy to pull energy from an outside source into their energy field. This energy is then dissected, separated, cycled, refined and catalyzed. The energy that is agreeable with the vampire’s energy need is assimilated into their own energy core. That energy that is not useful to the vampire’s energy need is released, catalyzed and refined, back to the source from which it was obtained. So both parties benefit from the exchange. The vampire gets the energy it needs and the energy source or donor in return receives heightened, refined energy. I fail to see where the loser is in this situation, unless the source has stated that they do not want to be part of an energy exchange. Also, it must be taken into consideration that energy is always being exchanged. Breathing itself is an energy exchange. We are always exchanging and changing energy. Energy is not stable; it never really stays in one form. When you hug someone, you are exchanging energy. That hug is a willing exchange of energy. Have you ever hugged a child? Well, guess what? Yup, you got the million dollar question… you have had an energy exchange with a child. Ever had an argument with a child or had it throw a tantrum because you asked it to do something? Then you had a negative energy exchange with a child. When you calm an excited or nervous child, or rub their back after a nightmare so they can go to sleep, you are taking energy from that child. There is always the prospect of feeding off of a child’s/children’s ambient energy. This is energy that is not attached directly to the child/children. This way you can feed without troubling your ethics/morals. So why are we still so bent out of shape about the issue?
What constitutes a child? Where do we draw the age cut-off? Is it 13, 16, 18 or maybe 21? In the United States, the law clearly states that by the age of 7 a child can begin making decisions between right and wrong. What I find amusing is that many people feel their child is old enough to embrace religion and a moral system at a very young age, but don’t feel they can actually apply it until they are much older. When can children be accountable for themselves? Can children be consenting donors? That depends on the child. Some people can make rational decisions earlier than others. I know many adults that I feel couldn’t make a rational decision for themselves.
We have a funny way of assuming all children are the same. I quote Ogden Nash: Oh, what a tangled web do parents weave when they think their children are naïve. Truer words have never been spoken. Sadly, we do not live in an age of innocence. Is a child accountable when at ten years of age they can leave the house in hot pants, a belly shirt, heels and makeup? Because let me tell you, I see a lot of that going on. Kids are much sharper then people tend to think. Some parents might think it is acceptable for their child to be a donor for a vampire while others may not: to each their own. However, to truly be a consenting donor, a child must comprehend why it may be wrong for someone to take energy from a child.
What it basically comes down to is this: it’s a personal choice to feed off of a child. It’s a personal choice to choose a child for your donor. You can not force your personal beliefs on others. You can only do what you feel is right for yourself and go from there. If you feel ill at ease in what you are doing, it is mostly likely morally wrong.
