if we accept that abuse is wrong, why is that some forms of abuse are acceptable?

THREAD
It’s always struck me as odd how so many can recognise abuse in others but are unable ( or maybe unwilling) to see it in themselves.
Maybe it isn’t that surprising as many of us don’t want to admit to things we are guilty of, because of embarrassment, guilt or shame.

Or maybe we feel justified in the abuse we mete out- so we refuse to take accountability.
And whilst this is a significant factor in not recognising our own abuse of others, of much greater impact will be the response of those around us.

Our friends, our families, our peers, our colleagues.

Because if THEY are accepting of our abuse of others, they validate it.
