My advice to the scape goat is to "Keep it in the sentence."

While consumed in the thought of "What did you mean by saying that?" I was blessed to be introduced to the Keep it in the sentence by a supervisor.
I am aware of the peace I get when I leave all my emotions in the action that caused them. I am no mind reader, so how do I know a persons thoughts? To assume I do is not only mentally defeating, it is also selfish in that I am not allowing that person to have their own existence.
I ponder, "Do ones that have been subjected to abuse subject to this way?"

"The Coin" part 1 from "Inside your shadow." (C) 2025

 edited for DOWN AND OUT DETOUR 2: (C) 2026 There’s a river that passes through hell. To get across that river one must pay the ferryman (Charon). One of the items, energies set free was from an AA coin. When one leaves the Earth he/she must pay the Charon a coin. In other worlds (God’s Time is different from manmade time). The energies of the chip went to a father’s wake. He remembered a few years ago, hearing his father talk to his stepmom, “I just don’t understand why he came to Thanksgiving high out of his mind again. I’ve done everything I could do to help him.” At a Thanksgiving, a few years later I would learn that he had cancer. My stepmom, my father, my niece and nephew were in the kitchen. There were platters, bowls, and plates with the regulars on the marble center table, potatoes, gravy, turkey, cranberries, and dressing. The interior designer came in, seemingly from nowhere. Wearing blue jeans and a black shirt to get his pay. He asked my stepmom, while my father...

  Epilogue to THE COIN © 2025   Anything and Any Measure to NOT be wrong:                                                                             When he listened to his point of view,  "They are taking over.."  All along the while he thought about the room he taught in was being inside of a rectangle.

The epilogue to The Coin part 4 (C) 2025 edits in progress

 "Look at Detroit . Look even in Jackson, Mississippi or the Mississippi Delta . Everything they touch turns bad. All across the Nation we moved on..." The boy continued, "Some of us were casts out of The White Land," he thought to himself. "You have to come to our side. There's a reason why 'white rhymes with right." He remembered the job interviews. He was a new college graduate . He remembered the repeated courses he had to take. Two of the instructors waited till after the second day of class, "We need to talk." He remembered how compassionate his teachers and job interview superiors tried to sound.  There must be some kind of book out there that had a step by step process of how to get rid of the "those who don't meet the standard." He remembered he argued with the instructor, "Who are you to say I can't," type of sentiment. The instructor then everso politely out other pre-test pretested papers from the ...
