%ROOTS OF EVIL-3 MONEY DESIRE GREED+790608
%TECHNOLOGY PHYSICAL BIRTH BLOCK COMMUNICATE 790608
The roots of evil are to be found in the blockage of
communication. Money may play a central role in the
blockage of communication when it is desired more than is
listening and dialogue. Technology may play a central
role in the blockage of communication when compulsive
concerns for techniques block communication; e.g., between
a mother and her newborn infant through premature cutting
of the umbilical cord, separation of the infant to a
nursery, the use of artificial milk formulas, nursing care
of the infant by professionals, etc. Each such instance
is the affirmation of professional technology over against
instinctive mothering and dialogue between mother and
infant. Technology may be valued more than dialogue or
professional advantage may be valued more than dialogue.
The professional and technocratic biases of physicians and
nurses often work to block communication between mother
and infant---by prematurely cutting the flow of life
giving blood; blocking the exchange of physical affection,
visual contact, sounds, body movements, and odors;
preventing the flow of milk from mother to infant, and in
general inhibiting the bonding of mother and infant. Too
often physicians and nurses have acted authoritatively to
promote the bonding of infants to inanimate objects such
as rubber nipples, plastic bottles, plastic cribs, and
synthetic fiber blankets---rather than permitting them to
become bonded to their personal mother.
Infants that are bonded to non-personal objects tend
to grow up to be ultimately concerned about (worship,
idolize, covet) physical objects and processes, rather
than to be loved, listened to, and be in dialogue with
persons. Their concerns lead them to collect and/or
consume physical objects and natural resources. They seek
to solve by objective technologies the personal dilemmas
which originate in their objective bonding. Their
objectivity blocks personal communication and the
perception of the origins of their personal problems.
Evils are occasioned and fed by blocked
communication, by the inhibition of mutual awareness and
mutual understanding of people by people. Non-personal
efforts to eliminate evils act to block personal
communication, and occasion additional alienation and so
occasion additional evil acts. Objectively bonded people
attempt to objectify evil so they can locate and control
it. Thereby they augment evil.
