Rationalizations cannot protect against or undo the damage of injustice or violation, dehumanization of the heart. Even love and compassion can be rationalizations disguised to subvert voice and agency, boundaries and protection. When the heart is dehumanized our awareness is in bondage, left in limbo, in an altered state. We can live a whole life without ever knowing. When we start paying attention to subtle experiences of our own sense of invisibility and an absence of worth which is different from low self worth… we begin unveiling questions that are in search of light.
