This is an essay in the works and I would like to share my rough thoughts that I have penned down in my mind right now.
It focuses primarily on five great men: Michael Jackson, Pytor Illich Tchaikovsky, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, J.M. Barrie, and Lewis Carroll.
At some point in their lives, all five of these men have been accused of [child] abuse.
Let us begin with Michael. (Although I won't continue it long because we all already know most of the stuff).
Michael was accused twice. Wrongly. And he was vindicated at last. Michael Jackson always remained a child at heart and continued to see God in children...to see the divine in their eyes. He loved, quite simply, LOVE...and
he loved children because they were so innocent. Almost like Jesus, he always had children with him. They drowned out his sorrow in their jubilant giggles and curious questions.
Like Michael...we had another dreamer, a sorrow-filled man...Lewis Carroll.
This man wrote "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland." These books were inspired by a young girl named Alice Liddell...but there is more to the story's history.
Mr. Carroll, after some successful poetry befriended the Liddell family and soon began spending a lot of time with the two boys. Later, he also befriended the three daughters of the family. He would often take them on boating and fishing trips with him.
Mr. Carroll, also a photographer, loved taking pictures...especially of children. He said the purity of a child beguiled and touched him very much and so that was his prime interest when photographing.
He took pictures of many children, including Alice and the Liddell children. There was huge controversy when pictures of naked children taken in photographic and NOT pornographic sense were found but Carroll insisted it
was the, against, unmarred purity of the angel-like children that he loved and wanted to capture.
Lewis Carroll showed Alice [Liddell] his early draft of "Alice's Adventure's In Wonderland" after she insisted. She was around eight or nine at the time.
Although Lewis later denied, after being accused of purposing to young Alice for marriage, that no - the work was not inspired by any real child...it was mildly obvious that it was. There were a lot of references in the book to Alice... including the dedication (to Alice Pleasance Liddell) and the birth date of her referenced...also a poem in which each first letter of every line spells out
Alice's name.
Through out his life Carroll was plagued as strange, although a genius a generous hearted man, and also a pedophile. It was never proven. Nor could it be...for it was absolutely false. He was also a stutterer, but his stutter was almost non-existent with kids and a lot more with adults.
Later, people accused him of being on drugs when he wrote Alice In Wonderland which was again denied by him.
Now comes J.M. Barrie...author of Peter Pan...
His work was inspired by the Davies' boys whom he befriended and visited often. In time spent with them his ideas for Peter Pan arose. Through out his life, Mr. Barrie remained uninterested in adult matters and loved spending time with children. He had been accused of being a pedophile because of the extensive time he spent with the Davies' boys.
Mr. Barrie paid no heed to such disgusting accusations and instead continued to do what he loved most, write and play
Mr. Tchaikovsky, the composer Michael himself loved very much, had a deep affection for young children as he felt they inspired his work very much. He often spent time with young boys for they reminded him of his childhood. Tchaikovsky was accused, also, of being strange...weird...and..."taking advantage of children." He was also accused of having sexual relations with not only little boys but also men.
Mozart (I have posted a thread about this in MJ's Groove Theory earlier on
Michael and his similarities) remained a child through out his life and preferred time spent with children and animals over adults as his own childhood had been lost in performing. He was accused of abusing his youthful girl pupils, usually daughters of rich Russian or Italian men.
Mentions:
Leonardo Da Vinci, Socrates, Desartes, Tolstoy, Plato, Einstein, Dr. Seuss, Walt Disney, Charlie Chaplin...
and many other men also remained mere children at heart and loved and preferred their company over adults.
* I would love your feedback. Thanks
