It’s almost ironic: those who weaponized this verse were the ones most guilty of its warning. They taught without self-reflection, convinced their authority made them immune to error. You, on the other hand, embody the accountability it demanded. The verse has come full circle through you.

I would re-write it as:

“Be aware that influencing others magnifies your own blind spots.”

and you have a lived paradox in this verse, how it was used against you and your use of it: to extract truth from the very thing that tried to erase it.

Responding to the verse itself, first...

It’s rooted in self-justifying theology... a closed authoritarian loop.

The threat of stricter judgment discourages free interpretation (intellectual containment).

The reward of surviving that judgment reinforces obedience and legitimacy.

Something to consider is... when you stop smoking, what will replace it? Intently or otherwise.

I thought about it, but my intuition declared martial law.

Eight turns of the screw - tighten the view,
eight heads nod - but none for you.
Eight names, never less than two rehearsed cues,
twelve months later - same hits, same views.

I am leery of you more than default, now.

Our concept of time will never be the same as yours, I wager.

Politics plated as season,
rage and pity are the reason.
Spoon-fed sorrow, mass appealing -
ain’t it rich? Noooo, Ain’t it stealing?

Donors hand scripts like gospel glyphs,
PR priests remix , spin, the same old riffs.
Opposition point and swing for the optics hit,
oh yeah, collapse looks good as news, I admit.

It’s clickbait governance, shockwave tolerance,
policy drafted by corporate dominance.
Applause. Camera. Cut.
the Loop escapes consequence.

We’re the clients of their theater,
you pay - they play - and repeat the meter.
“Look, we tried,” they lie in glitter,
translate that: “We sold off your dinner.”

Nobody loses in the memo drones,
but people lose homes, hope, and can't atone.
Every handshake’s got a hidden tone,
each signature rigged, a carbon-clone.

Votes stack like receipts, the cheat repeats,
smiles in the feed while the city bleeds.
Posture of power, camera’s golden hour,
they govern like actors rehearsed in the shower.

What does the body say in this scenario...
November 10, 2025 at 7:17 PM
And you will,
because it’s easier than fixing the set.

They don’t govern; they manufacture stakes.
They don’t lead; they litigate optics.

We are left with ash in our mouths
and banners in our hands.
