Personal abuse and self abuse. If such exists.
If we are dependent upon the planet and we abuse it or degrade our ability to obtain free shelter and gather food and water then we are communally complicit in self abuse. Polluting the air may also do harm to all manner of beings both flora and fauna not just ourselves.Arguably even the rocks and seas with be damaged by our missions, emissions and omissions.

But what defines a use as abuse or an action as abusive. The simple idea would be to say any use may be termed as abuse by a party not benefiting for the use. Plants and animals have no common desire to be exploited and killed by humans yet we consider such use as acceptable, and consider it fair use.

We do qualify some use of animals as abusive, (to them) but do not extend that to trees.

We do however protect trees, not due to any perceived abuse to them but to the human that may suffer their loss, whether for shelter, food, environmental enhancement or just visual appreciation.

So leaving aside abuse to other animals,it seems that abuse to the environment is detrimenal to use and is therefore abuse.

Somehow the animals got lost in the woods, well apart from the bees and a few birds which we want for pollination and bug control.

Whether for us or for I it is important to gather a clear understanding of what abuse may mean. For now it is prudent to say that although here may be a variety of meaning, there is a fundamental property. Let's look more closely at direct human upon human abuse that is not generated from careless exploitation of resources but where there is a choice and an awareness of the strife and turmoil that one person is gong through at the hands of another.

Although this analysis requires the use of abused and abuser, this is not a judgement of polarised morality but of position.Spiritually all abuse is self abuse, yet in a multifaceted organ one side may appear closer and more valuable thence other sides having less value may be used with less value and careful thought.
