                      %ARTICULATING POSITIVE IDEALS 850620

     Negative criticisms are valuable only as steps on the
way to articulating positive alternating ways to transcend
that  which  occasions the negative criticism.    Negative
criticisms are perverse if they are themselves the  source
of satisfaction,  and opportunities for the expression  of
negative criticism are created in disintegrative ways.  It
is  perverse to place people in double-bind situations  in
which  they can't win and so become available  as  targets
for  negative criticism which will provide satisfaction to
the creators of the double bind.

     Charitable  people seek ways to see in the mirrors of
life  the  ways  to  transform  negative  criticisms  into
positive  alternative  visions  of  ways  of  living  with
greater  communal  and personal integrity.   The  positive
visions  may  in fact be mirror images of  the  misleading
visions which occasioned the negative criticisms.  The new
visions  are likely to be re-visions of old  ideals  which
are  in  conflict with basic human needs for personal  and
communal   integrity.    Creative  people  seek  ways   to
transform  disintegrative  visions  and  ideals  and   the
negative  criticisms  which they occasion  into  revisions
which promote integrity for all.
