                   %ALTERNATIVE PERVERTED PLEASURES 860312

     People who are rejected,  excommunicated, for seeking
normal human pleasures usually seek alternative, and often
perverted, pleasures.

     It  is  not  always obvious what  are  normal (versus
perverted)  human pleasures.   Many people  regard  normal
human pleasures as being perverted,  and reject people who
seek normal  human pleasures---out of the conviction  that
such  rejection will lead the rejected people to seek what
the perverted rejecters regard as normal human pleasures.

     It is the process of rejection which leads people  to
seek   alternative  human  pleasures.    The  process   of
rejection  confuses  issues  because  it  confuses   human
communication:       speaking,     listening,     hearing,
interpreting,   body  language,  symbolic  actions,   etc.
Whenever  human  communication channels are blocked  there
can  not  be  clarity  about what is normal  and  what  is
perverted;   the  confusion  due  to  rejection  leads  to
perversions.

     People may turn to perverted pleasures because  those
nearest  and  dearest  to them offer  them  no  pleasures;
through neglect,  feeling that emotions are not worthy  of
respect and considerations.   Their attitudes and feelings
lead  them  to  be  unaware  of their  own  attitudes  and
feelings,   and unaware of the needs of others to have and
share healthy pleasures.  A  collusion binds  them to  the
disintegrative  consequences of their perspectives on life
and death.

     Pleasures  are empty without a meaningful context  to
give  them substance.   Integrative contexts give coherent
meaning   to  pleasures.    Disintegrative  contexts   rob
pleasures  of meaning and leave them with only  transitory
non-eternal  existence  in the fleeting now  of  immediate
dis-satisfaction.  The frustrations of such disintegrative
pleasures  are  the  sufficient reason  for  seeking  more
integrative  contexts and behaviors  within which to enjoy
the satisfaction of meaningful pleasures. Punishments will
not  create  such integrative contexts or behaviors,   nor
will manipulative  rewards.    Coherent integrative prayer
and cooperative action will.
