Any thing can be misused or abused, by
anyone, or, even by one's own self. That is no reason to fear, to
resent or to avoid that thing, reflexively, without one's own
independent investigation of that thing.
That thing first must be tested,
proven, and assayed by you, in its own right, and in its own light,
not in that of another nor not at all. That “thing” might be a
substance, a government, a creed, a deed, an implement, an animal, a
plant, a teaching, a person or a people. That “thing” might also
be “you.”
“You” may now be or “you” may
once have been consciously or unconsciously objectified, vilified and
nullified, by others, or by your own indolent inertia, i.e. “apathy.”
You may have consented by conduct.
Whether you are a self-abuser, a
self-misuser, or that of another, candid self-investigation will
reveal. From self-investigation will arise a methodology equally
applicable to all other persons and things.
