As a prolific blogger, this subject has been on my mind as a topic for a blog post, since many years – however, I must admit truthfully to you all that I find this horrific actuality to be highly upsetting, disturbing and distressing, to say the least. In my mind, I would prefer not to know anything about it – my subconscious mind has totally blocked it out as if it never ever existed – till now. Frankly, even as I pen this post, I would much rather not have to think about it at all – leave alone write about it- the fact that I find this tragic reality to be noxious, depraved, and deviously evil is putting things very mildly indeed.
The only reason why I am writing about this occurrence now is because this wickedness can no longer be ignored – it is a mushrooming and terrifyingly rampant, multi-million-dollar industry that is so degenerate, so base, so debauched and so highly perverted that we can no longer pretend that it does not exist. By our very silence, and by ignoring this debased behaviour, we are doing a great disservice to the silenced, terrified victims of such noxious crimes – victims who are our own fellow-humans, no less.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
The more one becomes aware of the many wrongs that plague our society, the more we can be empowered to fight against these various injustices and strongly voice our opinions and objections against such practices. REMAINING SILENT IS JUST ANOTHER FORM OF BETRAYAL OF TRUST.
I personally consider paedophiles as the worst scourge that humanity has ever known – may the souls of such unconscionable people forever burn and rot in hellfire for their unforgivable crimes! In my opinion, even the depths of the darkest Hell are too good for these evil-minded, perverted bullies.
This blog is penned entirely based upon my own perspective of the subject in hand. I am sure that there will be only a minuscule number of critics and deriders for such disgusting, abhorrent behaviour. Most people will openly agree with me here – of that, I am resoundingly certain.
People tend to state that nowadays, the rate of vicious, violent crime and escalating evil has reached new, dizzying heights – it is as if this wickedness keeps rising endlessly, and there is no way to stop it. It is as if we are under the rule of Evil itself.
When I was barely a child myself going to school, I used to hear it oft spoken that in times of yore – several hundred years ago – the crime rate was low, as to be hardly noticeable. Let me correct this wrong impression – crime has always been around, since the inception of mankind, in fact. It is only, in contemporary times, that with the power of the freedom of the press, the newspapers, the news channels, and the social media that we are so acutely aware of this huge, glaring issue, plaguing the lives of so many innocent people.
As a matter of absolute fact, humanity started out as barbarians – we are still barbarians even today – make no mistake about that. We are living in a world where anarchy, indiscipline, undue violence, division, disharmony and chaos reign supreme. It was the same situation several aeons ago; in current times, not much has really changed.
We were barbarians then; we are barbarians even now.

What is Paedophilia?
Paedophilia (paedophilia) is a sexual disorder in which a person experiences sexual feelings towards pre-pubescent children. For some people, this is associated with sexual feelings exclusively towards children, whereas for others, they might experience sexual feelings for both children and adults.
To be classed as a paedophile, the individual typically needs to have experienced intense feelings, urges, or fantasies over a prolonged period of time. The disorder is more commonly found in men and is only rarely found in women.
If you or someone you know is experiencing sexual feelings for children, support is available. Head to our Prevention Page to find resources available in your country.
Related terms:
Hebephilia: A sexual preference for pubescent (i.e. early adolescent) individuals, typically aged 11-14
Ephebophilia: A sexual preference for late-stage adolescent individuals, typically aged 15 and 16
Paraphilia: A sexual arousal to something regarded as unusual, although what’s considered unusual may vary depending on culture, time and place. The term paraphilia is sometimes preferred by therapists to other terms such as “sexual deviance” because it has less judgemental connotations.
Is a paedophile and a child sexual abuser the same thing?
Paedophilia concerns the feelings, urges, or fantasies an individual experiences. Child sexual abuse refers to the actions – either consuming and sharing Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), or committing a contact offence – that a person can take. Someone can experience sexual feelings for children and never act on them, and therefore never become a child sexual abuser, or someone can sexually abuse a child without feeling sexual feelings for them.
To highlight this difference, several online support groups of people suffering with paedophilia exist, such as one called Virtuous Paedophiles, in which they acknowledge having a sexual interest in children but do not act on that attraction.
Conversely, below is a list of different kinds of child sexual abuse offenders and how they may relate to sexual preferences.
- Preferential Offenders: who are motivated by sexual interests exclusively felt for children (i.e. paedophiles/hebephiles).
- Commercial Offenders: who facilitate child sexual abuse for financial gain and who may not have sexual feelings for children
- Situational Offenders: who take advantage of opportunities to engage with CSAM and minors, and who may have a range of paraphilic desires.

The reason that this rampant issue is so topical is because paedophiles themselves are normally a close family member of the victim – a parent imposing himself/herself and actively participating in the incestual sexual exploitation of his/her own children – be they their daughters or sons. In short, small children – school-going or much younger. It could be an infant too – how freakish, vile, wanton, and warped behaviour is that? It does not bear imagination. It makes me literally sick to my stomach.
Can you imagine the devious cunning of the person taking full advantage of the innocence, naivete, weakness and vulnerability of a child in such a debased way? The small stature of a prepubescent child puts him/her at a distinct disadvantage when confronted with a sexually crazed (or not), fiendish and brutish bully, such as a paedophile.
Paedophlia and child sexual abuse start at home – make no mistake about that. ‘Home is supposed to be where the heart is’ but it is rarely the case. People say –‘home sweet home’ – but what goodness, care, comfort, sanctity and benevolence do such sexually abused children find in their homes? Home, in such a horrific scenario, is no longer the safe haven it is supposed to be – continued sexual assaults from preying paedophiles (close family members and/or relatives) on unsuspecting, innocent children can make the place of residence a Living Hell to inhabit. Such deviant behaviour makes the homes of these victims an absolute nightmare to inhabit. In that sense, it is an evil that lurks in the shadows of the back door of the home – there is a certain sly cunning involved; an induced false sense of security and an imposition of total secrecy on the terrified victim because the abuser knows how heinous this crime is – but has no intention of stopping. In fact, it could become worse than it already is.
Rampant child pornography, the sex trade and sex trafficking, child kidnapping and child prostitution, rampant misuse of the Internet to propagate such crimes are the name of the game, in contemporary times. Paedophiles are also often found among the rich and powerful echelons of society – they shamelessly flaunt their wealth to satisfy their vilest sexual fantasies, with children, teenagers and minors as their inevitable victims.
Paedophiles are an ominous presence, forever lurking in the shadows, looking endlessly for more and more victims to satisfy their base and depraved desires. They prey upon the innocence, weakness, poverty, illiteracy and vulnerability of their victims. They are all conmen of the highest order.
Paedophilia is one of the most heinous crimes till date – no one dares to address it publicly for fear of terrible repercussions. Always remember – a bully preys upon one’s fear; the moment that one asserts oneself and confronts the bully, it will be surprising to note how quickly he/she backs off – like a chastised dog chased away, with his tail between his legs. Show a bully that you are not afraid – that in itself, starts the bully’s death knell ringing.
There is no such thing as a ‘virtuous/righteous paedophile’ in my opinion – either one is engaging and indulging in such depraved activities, or one is not. There is no grey area here – it is a clear black and white picture. Don’t imagine that those people who do not actively indulge in paedophilia and the perpetuation of child abuse are innocent of the crime – they are as guilty as sin. The people who help to propagate and spread such heinous crimes are as guilty as the perpetrators of the crime themselves.
Crimes always start with impure thoughts and deviant fantasies – just because one does not put such fantasies into active practice, does not make such degenerate behaviour excusable, tolerable, acceptable or forgivable. It makes such people as guilty as the perpetrator of the crime itself.
When dark thoughts and debauched fantasies form a regular, daily pattern, these impure fantasies slowly – but surely – develop into a habituated routine. Habits can easily become obsessions and when the latter takes a strong hold of a weak-minded psyche, these obsessions can quickly translate into evil deeds. It is a “Point of No Return” and it is not to be taken lightly, by any means. All crimes begin with wicked thoughts – make no mistake about that.
It’s not for nothing that Prophet Zarathustra stated the following words of enduring wisdom – “Good Words, Good Thoughts, Good Deeds.” The practice of these three elements is of crucial importance for anyone and everyone – whether they be followers of Zoroastrianism or not. If we were all to take a little time and effort to be more disciplined in these respects, it would go a long way towards making our world a better place to live in.
As the situation currently stands, this is very far from being the case. Slowly and surely, as Evil gains momentum – more and more power and notoriety, the more the world is getting slowly – but surely – submurged into deeper and deeper, black waters of sin and degeneration. It’s like entering a bottomless pit – a downward spiral into an abyss from which there can be no exit.
What is left to be said? Can we get rid of this perverted evil? The only way to do so, is to strike a sharp sword into the throbbing heart of Evil itself. The death knell of evil has already started ringing and it will not stop anytime soon. Let us make very sure of that.
Remember – UNITED, WE STAND TALL. DIVIDED WE FALL.
This time around, we collectively, shall teach the Face of Evil the real meaning of Fear. Let us make it our solemn promise to keep our word in this matter – just as decent people always do.
