“When what has been created in time according to the temporal order has reached maturity, it ceases from natural growth.

“The cry for freedom is a sign of suppression. It will not cease to ring as long as man feels himself captive. As diverse as the cries for freedom may be, basically they all express one and the same thing: The intolerability of the rigidity of the organism and of the machine-like institutions which create a sharp conflict with the natural feelings for life. Not until there is a social order in which all cries for freedom subside will man have overcome his biological and social crippling, will he have attained genuine freedom.” MenFeelsMayLongFeelingsOrderSocialNaturalFreedomCryConflictMachinesOvercomingInstitutionsRingsGenuineCeaseDiverseOrganismsCaptivesSuppressionSocial OrderRigidityNatural Feelings Author:Wilhelm Reich

“Objectification is a critical reason why an abuser tends to get worse over time. As his conscience adapts to one level of cruelty-he builds to the next. By depersonalizing his partner, the abuser protects himself from the natural human emotions of guilt and empathy, so that he can sleep at night with a clear conscience. He distances himself so far from her humanity that her feelings no longer count, or simply cease to exist.” HumansReasonFeelingsNightHumanityNextNaturalSleepLevelsEmotionClearProtectEmpathyConscienceDistanceGuiltCriticalPartnersCeaseCrueltyReason WhyHuman EmotionsAbusersObjectificationClear Conscience Author:Lundy Bancroft
