abuse or persuasion

I can’t count how many times this has been used on me. And when I resisted I was called a weakling. A wimp. A spiritual pussy.

Here’s how you can generally tell the difference: when you are abused you feel like something’s wrong, but you tend to blame yourself; and when you are genuinely persuaded you feel that something just went right, and you tend to feel better about yourself.

I share more personal stories about this over at my other site.
