                              %RIGHT TO TRANQUILITY 870923

     Some  people  believe  that  they  have  a  right  to
tranquility,   even  when  they  seek to live in  a  dream
world  of self deception in  the manner of an  addict  who
fails to deal realistically with situations.

     The  addict cannot  enjoy tranquility  because  there
are  too  many occasions in which something  threatens  to
wake  him  or  her  up  and  end  the  dream.    Addictive
tranquility can be maintained  only  within  the  dream in
sleep.  Anything which threatens  the  sleep  and dream is
experienced as a threat to tranquility.

     How  are  mature  people's  rights  to  be  protected
without getting trapped in  codependent traps of trying to
protect  addicts'   desire  to dream on?    How  are  real
threats  to  be distinguished from addicts' perceptions of
threats?   It  is  not  easy in an addictive  society   to
make   such  distinctions  to  the  satisfaction of  large
numbers  of  people.
