"Twee Waalse boerenkinderen - Two Orphans Holding Hands " (see details A | B), 1888 Leon Frederic (1856-1940) Royal Musuem of Fine Arts, Antwerp, Belgium

FEAR has a negative impact on child development - these orphan sisters by holding hands comfort or console (con-soul) each other. Materialistic theories prevailing in materialistic societies concerned with "taming" "wild" children often are ridiculous in the light of what has been known for millennia - children are tender, seek freedom from fear and solitude - material possessions are virtually irrelevant - materialism nor prayers can nurture developing spirits - only a caring "spirit" can nurture another.
