Definition of a geometric dilation: Changing the size and scale of an object without changing its shape
The schoolgirl threatening to ruin her classmate’s reputation
Threatening to banish her into the void of unpopularity
Sapping her voice, forcing her to do as she says
She is the same as the rest of them
The bully on the playground
Using physical blows to land a blow on his target’s psyche
Sapping the victim’s drive, the urge to fight back
He is the same as the rest of them
The parents beating their children
Beating away at their pride and resolve
Sapping their willfulness, forcing them into submission
They are the same as the rest of them
The rapist shoving the woman into the wall
Shoving away her right to say “no,” the right to make a choice
Sapping her security, her grip on soundness
He is the same as the rest of them
Though the scales may be different, the true nature of the action remains unaltered


The author's comments:
Many people think that committing sins on a small scale is acceptable and that they can get away with those actions. People need to realize that doing bad deeds at the local level is still wrong and still hurts others.
