Localizing such negative attributes in scape goats is a manipulative procedure which violates the victims' integrity, and so by extension results in the violation of the integrity of the community and its members. Projecting negative feelings and judgments upon others does not remove them from self, for the images which are projected later reflect back in distorted forms to haunt the projector. People who are projecting negative attributes are often trying to put themselves in a comparative good light, by making others look worse than they are. They often are seeking through manipulative procedures to achieve personal acceptance, approval, affirmation, etc. But they do not understand that such desiderata cannot be achieved through manipulative/technical procedures. What they desire is personal integrity within the context of communal integrity; but their attempts to achieve their desiderata undermine that which they yearn for. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
