Dear kyraofMists, Ladies and Gentlemen; This is a good thread to carry, as it becomes a new level of the needs to have individuals define what constitutes abuse and or consent. In my mind's eyes, humans have knowledge from their heart/mind and spirit if their intentions are willfull and purposeful. It is like the one who receives your hug or kiss, knows it is for real and not a falsehood. You can tell what words fail to describe, as it is more a feeling, a spirituality experience and or emotion. Just as somebody can 'feel' the difference in energy when the strike is in anger and or hate; to which transfers even through tools/gear used. The same can be said about the love transmitted. In my mind's eyes--consent is permission. With permission, there comes responsibilities as well as duties, associated with that permission and or trust. The abuse comes when the other steps over that thread of a line, when the abuse is knowingly done--which is not an accident (which could/may happen) and willfully done knowing of the consequences and affects/effects. I also see in my mind's eyes, that withholding information, knowledge and or not fully disclosing is a willful act that denies another to make a fully informed choice. This also includes behaviors which might cause alarm for an individual. If somebody withholds an anger, drug, disease and or criminal issue, it denies me the right to know and make an informed choice on how to handle things. Knowing up front is preferred, as far as I am concerned, but that is me--as I hate surprises and why I don't do birthdays. Unfortunately, for those standing along the curb and watching things unfold before us; which in our (in a general sense) mind's eyes would be abusive or destructive, negative and or is questionable--are often put into the position of helplessness other than waving flags of caution, giving advice and or support, opinions and such. Because it is an individual adult choice the only thing one can do is be 'here' (in a general sense) to pick up the pieces and hope that before the situation breaks and or wrecks; that those concerns will see that there is a genuine concern for all involved. In summary, abuse is a willfull, calculated and purposeful manifested as to manipulate, control, to harm, to change, to deny, to withhold, to do ill and or injury; to which trust gained and permission granted and word/bond/contract and or law is broken. Respectfully submitted for consideration, Lady Hugs
