Del replies :
But SSSusan, can you *really* imagine a little boy, say 6 or 9 years
old, not loving or caring for *anyone* or anything ?!?

I simply cannot imagine a *normal* little boy, no matter how harsh his
life conditions might be, not caring for anything, and not having
affection for anyone.

Unless Tom was *not* normal, unless he was a psycho right from birth
(or from the moment his mom died, it's pretty much the same anyway),
which would mean that his values are inherently different from ours
and most importantly that he did NOT make a choice to be evil and to
not love : he *was* loveless by nature. Sad, sad thought.

Del, who at the age of 9 tried real hard for months to become devoid
of emotions, only to discover that they came back with a vengeance a
couple of years later : normal kids can NOT prevent themselves from
loving.
