Very good post @pamoja550. If you go back and look at most Christmas or ancient beliefs there has been some sort of character that has served the same purpose. Krampus, Baba Yaga and another I cannot remember for the life of me. That were used to tell children if they misbehaved then these entities would come and take them away.

I think fear has been used on children since the dawn of time. As we're seeing the kids that are not being raised with this 'fear' are far more ill-behaved than any other time in history. I do think kids should have a healthy fear of their parents. Not being afraid of being abused but a fear of disappointing them for making bad decisions. Again, this is something that has fallen by the wayside in certain areas. It does make you think.

I do believe goodness is innate. I do think we all have a different definition of what good is. So finding a common ground to grow from is paramount.
