%NEVER RISKING FAILURE TIMID CAUTIOUS CAREFUL+790728
%PRUDENT SAFE SANCTUARY EXCOMMUNICATE PUNISH REWARD 790728
People who are intolerant of failure teach others to
be timid and cautious in the extreme. When never-failing
is an ultimate concern---people tend towards conformal
behavior that lacks imagination, creativity, vision
initiative, and love. To be unconditionally open to new
communications is to risk failure, for conventional
standards will judge many new ways as failures. To love
in a radical way is to be unconditionally open to new
communications, to listen with ultimate sympathy. People
who are intolerant of failure tend to work to undermine
the works of Love, they do the evil work of
excommunication. People who thus get out of touch with
each other tend to be uninformed and in their ignorance
make tragic mistakes. They fail to be responsive to teach
other, and so do not meet each other in need. They tend
to deny each other's personal needs, in order to meet the
need to avoid conventional failure. Their commandment to
never fail becomes the greatest commandment, their god.
The commandment to never fail usually takes the more
positive form of a commandment to compete and win in a
contest to be better than all other contestants. It is an
elitist commandment to do a good job at a worthy task for
the purpose of being better than others. The focus is
upon comparisons between levels of performance. When
there are many competitors, comparisons tend to be reduced
to quantitative measurements---and so competitors are
encourages to focus their attention upon qualitative
issues. Failure get defined in quantitative terms because
success is defined in quantitative terms. Those who fail
are ignored and are excommunicated. To avoid
excommunication the contestants focus their attention on
quantitatively measurable behaviors which undermine their
ability to communicate. They are trapped in a tragic
double bind. Both the contestants and the judges
participate in the evil work of excommunication.
All the participants in this tragic drama are
threatened by any who attempt to pull out of the insane
game, and are generally regarded as having gone insane.
