When grudging sacrifices are made to achieve a positive value --- the dissatisfaction of the persons making the grudging sacrifices may be so great as to counter-balance the positive values, and yield a net community loss. The "martyr" who is constantly injecting a negative tone into the community may in an overall way be making a negative contribution to the community welfare compared to the possibility of not making such great sacrifices and having a more positive and cheerful attitude. The tone of a community has a pervasive influence on all members of the community. Thus sacrifices which involve an undercutting of the tone of a community may be counter-productive. People can not be required to support a specified tone of a community. Satisfaction can not be required. To punish a dissatisfied person for failing to be satisfied will not cause the person to be satisfied. Desired emotions can not be required in any effective way. The affective domain is not very effectively dealt with by legalists and thus the costs of dissatisfaction can not be charged to the account of the dissatisfied person. Dissatisfaction is a community problem which can be dealt with creatively only in an honest communal way. Satisfaction is not an individualistic, logical, cognitive, legal, or controlable reality. Satisfaction is a gift received by people who live in love. People who do not live in love bear the costs of much dissatisfaction. The benefits of coping techniques which are not grounded in love are counterbalanced by the costs of dissatisfaction occasioned by such impersonal coping techniques. Techniques which occasion alienation occasion costs which are not usually traced to the use of the techniques. The techniques are often presented as if they would guarantee satisfaction---something which no technique can guarantee. Unfulfilled promises tend to occasion alienation; thus technocrats who promise satisfaction to those who buy their techniques become alienated from their dissatisfied customers. The costs of such dissatisfaction need to be considered in considering whether or not to respect and buy the techniques. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
