The Roots Of Psychopathy In The Church (Part 2)

Most people today are familiar with the word objectification, which is the act of treating a living entity in a way that disavows its right to be and subjects it to being an object which exists for the gratification of the one who is making it into an object.

Karen Blixen stated this well when it comes to men objectifying women when she wrote that chivalry is the binding of the legs of the object of one's affection in order to do it homage.

But objectification obviously infects more than the manner in which people interact with other people. It also manifests itself in each and every way that people can seek to control the world around them.

At root the English language itself is structured in a way that promotes this. In short, we are brainwashed to see the world in this way. Take for instance the sentence, The cat eats the mouse. Cat in this sentence is the subject and it acts upon mouse, which is the object. And so this passively and subconsciously becomes the way in which we become used to seeing the world. It shapes what we expect of other beings and the world at large.

And it is nothing other than propaganda.
