Rape

Rape is the way the vulnerable are punished.
Rape is the way we are punished for being vulnerable.
Rape is the way we punish the vulnerable.
Rape is the way we are punishing of vulnerability.

We are scared of it,
so we try, violently, to destroy or take advantage of it
when we see it
in others.

Or in ourselves:
We punish ourselves,
this unbearabile, lonely fragility of Me,
I will outdo myself this time.

"We must be the change we want to see in the world."






How To Stop Raping the World

Don't do it.
Work through it.
Elicit help through practising restraint with others.
Do not press the button "Yes" to launch our bomb.
Take the finger off the trigger.
Put down the gun.
Take three deep breaths.
Loosen the jaw.
Take three more deep breaths.
Hold our chest with our arms.
Leak one, foolhardy tear.
Take more deep breaths.
Declare we will sleep on it.
Sleep on it.
Ask for forgiveness.

Repeat.

Maintain practice with lots of deep breathing.
