cowboygrandpa,

What you have stated is "right-on-target" (with one minor exception) and occurs due to people allowing their possessions TO OWN THEM, not the other way around. They fail to realize that their FAMILY is THE MOST VALUABLE possession.
I find it akin to, "The LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of all EVIL." MONEY is merely a TOOL, and when one allows it to become more than what it is, problems start.

The exception I mentioned, to what you quoted, is the part equating verbal abuse with physical abuse. I believe it depends on the receipient of the "verbal abuse", as I would rather have someone use their "verbal barbs" than actually strike me. On the other hand, when it comes to one's children, it would depend on how strong the child is mentally. When I was a child a scolding or harsh words didn't bother me all that much; at least not as MUCH as a SPANKING with a BELT. "Sticks and stones...", and all that. From my observations, my older sister seemed to react just the same to BOTH.
