Ra has indicated that, on some level, there is always agreement. Even among humans victimizing one another, there is agreement to provide catalyst for one another.
However, to interpret that as having permission to support the harming of another, is to miss the point of what catalyst is. (NOT saying you are doing that! I'm speaking in generalities here.)
It doesn't matter whether the victim had an agreement or not on some higher level. Our task, as STO polarizing entities, is to serve others, rather than harming them. It then follows that if we witness an entity being harmed by another, our first responsibility is to try to help the victim, if possible, while simultaneously loving and accepting the victimizer. It is this seemingly paradoxical intention/action that may help free both victim and victimizer.
There is no conflict between the 2.
To misinterpret love/acceptance as not helping the victim, is to miss the point of the catalyst.

Me too! But I'm not sure it's a weakness. It's our nature. So we're probably supposed to do it. We have our roles to play too!
