a list, not a litany

Suppose you have had enough? You are tired of the harm cycle. What can you do?

The short answer: I don't know.

I know, that's disappointing.

If I were asked (and I haven't been), what would I myself putatively do to halt the harm? 

(Can you imagine legions of demonstrators brandishing placards with the words HALT THE HARM instead of STOP THE STEAL? [Can a placard be brandished?])

A list, though not a litany:

• Do nothing. (Maybe the harmer or the harmful conditions will expire, tire, surrender, grow bored or disillusioned, or have a change of heart.)
• Try something, anything, different.
• Take up a new habit.
• Act as if.
• Practice a charm.
• Ask for help.
• Accept the help.
• Go deeper into the circle.
• Go undercover.
• Trick them.
• Employ magic.
  
• Pray.
• Ingest pharmaceuticals.
  
• Build a new social infrastructure.
• Surrender.
• Redefine harm.
• Accept the status quo (until it changes).
• Enlist allies.
• Turn the circle of harm into an oval, then a square, then a rhombus, then a triangle.
  
• Innovate circle-breaking technology.
• Self-induce a hypnotic trance, a hypno-selfie.
• Practice mental telepathy with harmers and harmees.
  
• Convert to their side.
  
• Undergo electroshock therapy.
  
• Deploy tanks and other heavy armor, physically, metaphysically, or both.

DISCLAIMER: Let's be clear: the author of this blog makes no claim or pretense to being any kind of authority or expert, professional or otherwise. In short, I have no advice or recommendation(s) to make about anything. So, why bother? Good question. I am merely listening to myself muse, seeing if the microphone works, testing to see how successful I am as a tightrope walker.
