Using other people
Using other people is wrong, right? Especially when “other people’ is you. When somebody is using you. I hate being used. It makes me feel stupid, it makes me feel betrayed, it makes me angry. And the worst part is that who is using you is usually someone closer to you than most.
Is using other people morally wrong? I think so. Have I ever done it myself? Let’s see. When I was in school I would ask a boy who had a crush on me to help me with my homework. Was I using him? I wouldn’t say so, right? I mean, I needed help and he was willing to help. This can’t be wrong. When is using “using”?
using is “using” when the usee(!!) hides the real intensions of his actions from the used and makes the latter believe some fake ones which would convince him to help the usee furfill his real intentions (which have little or no benefit or even damage for/the used)
disclaimer: I’m coffe drunk. But I can explain my theory deeper if needed :))

using is using more often than we would like to think. if you want to split the hair in 4, it happens ALL THE TIME. some people stop splitting the hair (and hence worrying about it) sooner, others later..
