                            %OBJECTIVE IMPORTANCES? 850623

     Some people perceive the importance of their concerns
to  be objectively real.   They act if other  people would
have  the  responsibility to perceive  the  importance  of
their  concerns as they perceive the importance  of  their
concerns,   as  if the importance were some reality  which
existed  independent of human decisions and actions.    By
their  decisions  and actions such  self-important  people
seek to coerce others into acting as if such concerns were
objectively  important  apart from any person's  decisions
and actions.   If they are successful in their venture  it
constitutes  an  invitation  into  and  induction  into  a
collusion, a game of mutual self deception.

     Priorities  which  flow  from  human  decisions   and
actions can not be objective realities.  They do not exist
independently  of human decisions and actions the same way
which  mountains  and oceans do.   The nature  of  natural
processes may be objectively real and it may make quite  a
difference whether or not we deal realistically with  such
processes.    That  it will make a difference  may  be  an
objective  reality,   but  it  does not  follow  that  one
consequence is more desirable than another consequence.

     It  may  be  an objective reality  that  Jack  has  a
certain set of priorities.  It does not follow that Jack's
priorities  are  real priorities which  exist  apart  from
Jack's concerns and/or the concerns of other people.  They
do not discover such priorities existing independently  of
them before the discovery.  Priorities are not discovered,
they are created by human beings.  The same goes for human
desires,  goals, hopes, importances,  etc.   To regard any
such human creations as objective realities, and to ask if
they   are  objective  realities,   can  lead  to   tragic
misunderstandings and behaviors.
