    It can also be a tool.

    For example, the model for gravity is just a useful fiction. But it’s useful. And it being constantly useful like that, one becomes attached to it.

      A scythe can be used for harvest, cutting a path, or murder. Tools are neutral, intent not so much. And purity doesn’t matter here. I can have purely loving intention and rob someone of their own. Or purely base intention and something beneficial occur by happenstance.
