     %COMPULSIVELY OBJECTIVE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS 861227

     When   scholars   do  not  clearly   articulate   the
differences between objective and personal knowledge,  and
the ranges of propriety for each, the scholars teach their
students  to dichotomize their culture  into  compulsively
objective people and compulsively subjective people;  none
of  whom  have  the intellectual power  to  integrate  the
complementary  ways  of knowing into a coherent  whole  in
terms  of  which  members of their  cultures  might  enjoy
health and well being.

     Compulsively   objective  people  are  not  free   to
approach  their  personal  relationships  and   themselves
within  such relationships---without the  bias  of   their
compulsive objectivity.    Objectivity is their bias:   it
imprisons them  and keeps them from entering into personal
relationships.

     People  who are imprisoned by objectivity can not  be
in dialogue with people who are not so  imprisoned;   they
are  not  free to learn new things which  transcend  their
bias.   Their bias makes them approach personal situations
in   ways  which   make   personal   conflict   resolution
impossible.    Instead they seek technocratic solutions to
the   technical  problems/dilemmas which they perceive  to
exist   in  human  relations;  thereby  intensifying   the
nature,  extent and  risk  of ideological conflicts  which
they  often objectify  and treat  as  objective  realities
which   are beyond  human control.    The people who serve
the  devil  on the wrong side of  the  conflict---must  be
destroyed  to  rid the  world  of evil.   Evil is regarded
as   an  objective reality,    like dirt,   and it must be
eliminated  until the world is free of it.    They can not
perceive the  personal consequences of attempting to carry
their  program to its logical conclusions.
