%LAW LOVE TECHNIQUE DIALOGUE BLOCK ALIENATE 790514
People are unlikely to stop making judgments about
the propriety of each other's action, and are unlikely to
stop acting upon the basis of such personal judgments.
Such personal judgments are often the source of
alienation, and so it is unlikely that such alienation
will entirely cease. The alienation effects of personal
judgments/actions may, however, be moderated by grounding
them in considerations of love; rather than basing them
upon compulsive needs to enforce technical laws. By
learning to judge/act according to the holistic reasoning
of love; rather than the analytic logic of legalistic law,
the destructive violence of alienation may be moderated,
and nearly eliminated.
The alienative effects of necessary judgments and
actions can not be moderated through technical efforts
which are not guided at all by love. Efficiency,
systematics, analysis, objectivity and their like do not
serve as an adequate basis for reducing alienation.
Systematic efforts to analyze alienation objectively (in
order to maximize the efficiency of human efforts through
the minimization of alienation) will not be likely to
succeed. The basis for passing judgment upon alternative
ways of minimizing alienation is love, not technology.
Love pertains to the reduction of alienation; the
growth of greater intimacy. Love pertains to increasing
dialogue---in contrast to the maximization of objectivity,
analysis, control, etc. When goals and means which are
not motivated by love are objects of ultimate concern and
bases for judgment and action---then love is given a back
seat and alienation occurs. Then systematic computations
of how to most quickly and efficiently achieve chosen
goals---will be undermined by the alienation which is
occasioned by the computations.
The law of love motivates from within, not from
outside of people. God gave the motivation of love.
People may elicit that love, but can not require it of
each other. The law of love describes human tendencies to
communicate as the laws of physics describe objective
patterns of behavior. The law of love is descriptive, not
prescriptive. Requiring love as a responsibility is
unloving. Love may be partially blocked, but it can not
be successfully required.
