                           %RESPECTABLE COMMITMENTS 860203

     Not  all  commitments  to do  worthwhile  things  are
worthy of respect.   Not all worthwhile  achievements  are
worthy of respect.   The price paid must be  considered in
judging whether or not respect is merited.  The price paid
in fulfilling a commitment  must be  considered in judging
whether or not the commitment is worthy of respect.

     A  commitment to achieve that which the person cannot
possibly achieve is not worthy of respect.   A  commitment
to achieve more than time and/or energy will permit is not
worthy  or respect.   A  commitment to achieve that  which
personal  abilities/limitations  will not  permit  is  not
worthy   of  respect.    Flying  in  the  face  of   human
limitations  is not worthy of respect no matter how  noble
the goal or intentions may appear to be.

     Achievements  which  in  themselves  seem  worthy  of
respect  may  not be worthy of respect in the light of  an
honest  recognition  of  the  disintegrative  impact  upon
persons  and their  community of paying the price required
to  accomplish the achievement.   Price should be measured
in alienation, frustration, resentment,  anger, injustice,
violence,  rejection, confusion, and the disintegration of
personal  and communal integrity;  as well as  in  natural
resources and dollars.
