The term perverse is often used in the context of sexuality. Originally it comes from the Latin term perversus and means upside down, wrong, bad, degenerate. Perverts are not only people with an unhealthy behaviour in the area of sexuality. For me, perverse or perverted are also things that no longer correspond to their actual form or serve their purpose. For example, when shareholders no longer make their money available to a company for its further development, but are only out to make as much profit as possible. Or when medicines are no longer used for recovery, but to achieve an ideal figure, etc. We can all ask ourselves whether we have sick or perverted patterns in certain areas of life. If so: fortunately, one can pervert the perversion - and thus bring it back into the healthy being.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
