Mercury Square Nessus

Your thinking and the Nessus principle keep colliding, so your words can turn manipulative, cutting, or controlling under pressure, or you may be on the receiving end of such speech and absorb it as your own voice. You might replay inherited blame, weaponize a sharp tongue, or fall silent rather than name the harm. There is a real risk of words that violate boundaries. This square asks for action, not a truce: to speak the truth about power without wielding power through your speech, to name harm rather than inflict it, and to hold your verbal boundaries cleanly, until your words and the old harm stop grinding.
