The system of dependence, which we call modern society, is built on the fundamental principles of child grooming and abuse. To understand our abusers, and abuses that we may have inflicted on their behalf, we cannot look at abuse as merely evil; for doing so would succumb to the intent of our abusers. Instead, we must understand the purpose and methods of abuse as they are; vehicles for domination. When they say that they have authority over us, is to say that they have dominion, what they mean is that they can inflict any abuses upon us that they wish.
