RE: Who's innocent?
It's hard not to get caught up in this pull, isn't it? The more you cast a bad light on someone, the more you will enchant those freedom fighter portions of someone when words fall out of your mouth that smell like you're basically agreeing with them. The personality parts of those who want to draw you to their side will feel confirmed whenever you make the impression that you have fallen. One word is enough, where you characterize someone or something as insufficient and your appeals have become powerless, where you voluntarily place yourself under a higher order.
You will be searched and sniffed for your weak points, and since we humans are usually not saints, the portion of a person who feels subservient to no one will be pleased to have found them and to see confirmed by them that what you have of wisdom about human existence has no relevance for that portion.
This suffering and hating part in one wants to connect with the suffering part in you. By flattery or insult, by eloquence and a long breath. Be assured that appeals to the desire that all sentient beings may be well have power and that those parts that seek to pull one down into their own struggle offer a space for one's own development in maturity. I find it hard to feel grateful for those opportunities and not becoming desperate myself.
As I see it, there is no end to good or evil. It is part of our reality of life.
