          %INHIBITING EVIL TABOO ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR 871204

     When  we  are  trapped in  an  addictive  pattern  of
behavior we try to gain control of processes which  elicit
fear  in us.   We invoke taboos and laws which attempt  to
control  evil  behavior.   We try to inhibit  the  fearful
behavior of  others and try to inhibit  our  awareness  of
experiences which generate fear in us.  Efforts to control
what  can  not be controlled are doomed to  generate  more
fear and more attempts to gain control.  Such  efforts are
bound  to  fail,  and make us feel that things are out  of
control, and that we need to try harder to gain control.

     The primary failure is in our choice of our goal.  It
is foolish  to try to be in control of that which can  not
be  controlled.    Human fulfillment is not given to those
who   are  in  control.    Human  fulfillment  is  not   a
consequence of an achievement;  and certainly it is not  a
consequence of the achievement of control.
