^Chastise ~chastisement~
Figure
Annotate
- In ~brevity~, ^Give an ^Honest ~show~ of (dis-)~respect~ toward an ^Evil ~act~ so that we may ^Show ~respect~ toward ^How we and others ^Feel about it.
- ^Give an ^Honest and unshakable ~act~ (gesture or compliment) to ^Respect each ~mind~ in ~relation~ to it.
- ^Think about it afterward.
- ^Fail it ^When anyone might ^Receive a ~loss~ of ~respect~ from it.
Subject
^Chastise is a mode of ^Agency that may ^Act to ^Assert disapproval yet ^Maintain ~love~ for the bad actor. Distortions dissipate most ^Quickly ~as~ we ^Remove them in ~compassion~.
We can't ^Give ~chastisement~ ^Properly to someone that we don't ^Know ^How to ^Love. We can't ^Chastise ourselves unless we ^Know ^How to ^Love ourselves. We can't ^Chastise others unless we ^Know ^How to ^Love those others.
For those ^Who are ~STRONG~ ~sufficient~ to ^Endure it and ^Who also are ~SICK~ ~sufficient~ to ^Give or ^Receive it.
To ^Give ~chastisement~ in ^Full ~form~ ~results~ in a ~loss~ of ~respect~ ^When we ^Give or ^Receive it in ^One ~direction~ only, ^When it is in ~hostility~ or ^When we ^Anticipate it to ^Become ~as~ ~such~. So we may ^Refuse it. And ^When in ~doubt~, it is ~simple~ to ^Refuse the ^First ~step~ that may ^Harm us.
We may ^Take a ~chance~ to ^Grow from it although it may ^Offend except ^Consider ~adjustments~ to ^How to ^Direct our ~return~.
Target
Anytime something may ^Act to ^Magnify ~evil~ or ~weakness~ ^Between ourselves and others.
For ~example~, an (un-)^Happy ~combination~ of distortions in ourselves, others or our world may ^Cause us to ^Seek ~opportunities~ to ^Learn from it.
^When we ^Want to ^Improve, we may ^Receive it ^Irrespective of ^Who may ^Give it, even though its ~gift~ may not ^Regard or ^Respect us. We may ^Take it and ^Make it a ^Proper ~gift~ or else we may ^Refuse to ^Consent ^When we ^Suspect its ~motivation~.
