RE: https://mstdn.ca/@dbattistella/116400498346177081 Reminded me an old post on r/Buddhism: "Basically the way we relate to the world is one of force. Our fundamental way of relating to the world is a place where we force things to do what we want them to do, to serve what we imagine to be our needs. … This kind of climate of violence - that the world and the objects in it are things for us to exert force on... defines the way we relate to our own psyche, our own emotions."
