None of us can escape nonconsensual power relationships. We did not and could not have chosen to be born to our parents, who in turn could not have avoided exerting power over us if they wanted to raise us at all. Those of us who have children will be in that position too.https://twitter.com/KatMurti/status/1133425127033638914 …

Wow, turns out the etymology of "merci" is fascinating. It is cognate with "mercy" but the Latin root "merces" means "wages, fee, price" so it's also cognate with "merchandise"! As in, showing mercy = taking on the price of what you did wrong?

Nice. The Monastic Academy likes to talk about wisdom, love, and power as three things to cultivate and keep in balance so they can be used together.
