  %CREATE RESOLVE CONFLICT EXPECT ANTICIPATE HONEST 910406

     We   create conflicts when we generate  in  ourselves
and   in others  expectations,    anticipations and  hopes
which  are unrealistic,   dishonest,   and/or inconsistent
with  each other.   We might reduce the level of  conflict
in our lives by  being more  prudent  in the generation of
expectations,    anticipations  and  hopes.   It  is  less
stressful  to avoid the generation of conflicts,   than to
resolve  conflicts  which have  been  generated   by   the
imprudent    development   of  conflicting   expectations,
anticipations and hopes.

     Conflict is generated when there  is dishonesty about
what is possible in the light of limited resources,    and
in  the light  of  what is known about reliable   patterns
in   how objects and living creatures behave;  i.e.,   the
descriptive laws   of  science  such  as  the  descriptive
laws   of conservation of energy, linear momentum, angular
momentum,  and    charge;    the   descriptive   laws   of
gravity,   thermodynamics,   Kepler,   Newton,    Maxwell,
Einstein;    of atomic,  nuclear and  elementary  particle
physics;  and other laws  which have been proven over  and
over  to  be  reliable descriptions  of how the  objective
parts  of  the  physical universe  behave  in response  to
the  initiative   taken  by people  and  in   response  to
natural   processes.     It   is dishonest   to   generate
expectations,     anticipations   and  hopes   that  "good
things"    will happen which will  require the use of more
resources  than exist,   and/or will require that   events
occur  in  violation  of  the most  reliable   laws  which
describe natural patterns of objective processes.

     Conflict    which  is  generated  through  dishonesty
cannot  be resolved   through   the   use   of  additional
manipulative  dishonesty.     To  resolve  such   conflict
requires   giving    up  manipulative  dishonesty,     and
returning  to open and honest dialogue about  our  limited
but extensive possibilities.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
