          %TRANSCENDING TABOOS COLLUSIONS ADDICTION 880317

     Each  taboo,  collusion and addiction which  receives
respect helps to create a context within which respect  is
likely  to  be  offered  to  the use  of  excommunication,
shunning,  estrangement,  alienation, etc.  as tools to be
used in promoting dishonest conformity to what some people
regard as proper behavior.

     The maintenance of taboos,  collusions and addictions
require  dishonest  behavior;  for they  entail  games  of
mutual self deception.  It is dangerous to play such games
in  the support of any  "good cause"  because the  example
given  thereby sets the stage for playing  like  games  of
mutual self deception for other causes which may not be so
"good".   The use of games of mutual self deception in the
service  of a "good"  cause leads to the disintegration of
people and  then communities.   Excommunication, shunning,
estrangement,     alienation,    etc.    are   essentially
disintegrative tools, and any respect shown for the use of
such   tools   contributes  to   personal   and   communal
disintegration; i.e., to evil processes.

     Personal communal disintegration  are  the essence of
evil  processes.  Thus,  the breakdown of communication is
characteristic of evil processes.   The use of tools which
entail  the  breaking  down  of communication is  an  evil
process,   and  is not worthy of respect even  though  the
intended purpose  is "good".    "Good"  intentions can not
make disintegrative processes worthy of respect.
