This isn't about moments though. We're talking about fundamental distortions of the Law of One if we don't sort this stuff out. I think it's fundamentally wrong to think stopping an action in the name of protection is somehow a sts act in of itself.
As Unity said, we operate on higher principles. If we stop an act of separation, this could only mean that it is viewed as a positive act no matter whatever else is at play. You aren't controlling the aggressor, you are preventing a negative polarization from happening.
In the name of positive polarity, acting against doesn't equate to controlling. If this were the case, any positive act conflicting a negative agenda would be considered sts. This isn't possible. You are only moving on a sliding scale.
You are trying to bind polarized actions to definitions of the English language that carry a negative connotation. I wouldn't view stopping an act of separation as "controlling". I think this is the misunderstanding. You are serving the Creator in a positive fashion.

I think we are getting caught up in limitations of our language and the distortions that definitions carry with them.
You would be hard pressed to argue that in the moment, protecting a child is self-interest. Even if this were true..out of self-interest..why is that the case?
Because you love them. So then, at the very base level, you aren't doing it out of self-interest..you are doing it in the name of love which is sto.
