^Chastise ~chastisement~
Figure
Annotate
- ^Give an ^Honest ^Show of (dis-)~respect~ with ^Brevity to an ~evil~ ^Act in ~show~ of ^Respect towards ^How we and others ^Feel about it.
- ^Give an ^Honest and unshakable ^Act (gesture or compliment) to ^Grant ^Respect to each ^Mind in ~relation~ to it.
- ^Think about it afterwards.
- ^Fail it ^When anyone receives a ~loss~ of ^Respect from it.
Subject
^Chastise is a mode of ^Agency that acts as a means to assert disapproval yet ^Maintain ~love~ for the bad actor. We cannot ~properly~ deliver ~chastisement~ to someone we do not ^Know ^How to ^Love. We cannot ^Chastise ourselves unless we ^Know ^How to ^Love ourselves. We cannot ^Chastise others unless we ^Know ^How to ^Love them. Those distortions dissipate and ^Remove most rapidly in those ^Who have the ~strength~ to endure ~chastisement~ and in ~need~ to ^Give or ^Receive it.
To deliver ~chastisement~ in ~full~ form ^Results in a ~loss~ of ^Respect ^When we ^Give or ^Receive it in only one ~direction~ or in hostility or, ^When we are in ~anticipation~ that it will ^Become as such. So we may ^Refuse it. And ^When in ~doubt~, it is just as ~simple~ to ^Refuse the ~cruel~ ~first~ ^Step of it.
^Take it as a ^Chance to ^Grow (even ^When it does not ^Offend).
Target
Anytime something acts to ^Magnify ~evil~ or ~weakness~ ^Between ourselves and others, such as by the (un-)~happy~ combination of distortions in ourselves, in others or in our world. ^Receive it anytime we ^Want to ^Improve regardless of ^Respect to the appropriateness of it as ~gift~.
