     %ATTEMPTING IMPOSSIBLE PERFECT ADDICT BEHAVIOR 871119

     To  attempt to achieve what is impossible to  achieve
usually involves various levels of mutual self  deception.
That which is impossible is usually  impossible because of
limitations about which we do not like to be honest: There
may not  be enough time to  achieve  all  that is intended
before a deadline.   There may  not  be  enough energy and
resources to achieve the intended goal  with personal  and
communal  integrity.   Human limitations  as  regards  the
formation of consensus and cooperative  plans may stand in
the way of an intended achievement.  To fail to face human
limitations honestly, and to proceed as  if they  did  not
exist---is fundamentally dishonest  and so disintegrative.
Promises  should not be made to self  or others to do what
we   can   not  reasonably  expect  to  be  able  to   do.
Expectations of impossible performance are disintegrative.
Rejections for  failure to fulfill expectations of perfect
conformity are disintegrative;  and respect shown for such
rejections is disintegrative.
