%SALVATION SUFFER PUNISH SHARE MISTAKE SIN FAIL FIX 910325

     Generous people who  believe  that  the  key to their
salvation lies in their suffering are prone to share their
suffering  with  other  people  so  that  they   too   can
be    saved.  Punishment   promotes  suffering  which   is
the  key   to salvation.

     It is not  hard  to  find  appropriate  occasions for
suffering through punishment, for nobody is perfect and so
everybody   makes   mistakes   which  provide  appropriate
occasions  for suffering through punishment.

     People    who    believe  that  the  key  to    their
salvation   is  suffering,   can find  many  occasions  to
suffer because they can  punish themselves every time they
make even  a  small mistake,    or  imagine that they have
made  a  mistake.     By  extension they  can  share  such
procedures  with  others,   and be the occasion from  many
other  people having  the   benefits  of  suffering  which
occasions salvation.

     People    who   believe  that  the  key   to    their
salvation  is suffering,   will be prone to feel guilty on
any  occasion when they are not suffering,  and so are not
participating in  they  key  to  their  salvation.    They
cannot    feel  comfortable with pleasure,    joy,   love,
affection,  health, or  any occasion of well being.   They
adopt  emotional   and intellectual life  styles,    which
insure  that  they  will  not  be  confronted  with   such
uncomfortable  occasions;    for they do not know  how  to
accept them gracefully.

     All people need  to  learn by  example  how to accept
pleasure joy,  love, affection, health and well being with
personal  integrity.     All   people  need  to  have  and
live   by   an  integrative   theory  of  suffering  which
promotes health and well  being;    rather than  promoting
perverse  thought   and behavior  patterns.    While  some
suffering  comes  into  every life;    it  is  perverse to
believe that it is our duty  to seek out suffering and  to
promote suffering,   so that other people  can  be  saved.
Suffering is the key  to  salvation leads to perverse  and
disintegrative     life     styles      which      involve
disintegrative    self   punishment   and   inter-personal
violence.
