   %INCORRUPTIBLE ORDERING PRINCIPLES GUIDES MOTIVE 910511

     Many  traditional  ordering  principles are  open  to
abuse and corruption.   Consider the following injunctions
in the light of possible abuses:

     1.  Always obey the law.  (Segregation laws?)

     2.  Respect your elders.  (Alcoholics?)

     3.  Always be generous.  (Like codependents?)

     4.  Trust religious leaders.  (Even immoral thieves?)

     5.  Support your nation.  (In genocide?)

     6.  Be objective.  (In bombing civilians?)

     7.  Be perfect.  (In perfecting standards?)

     8.  Maintain order.  (Sacrificing integrity?)

     9.  Solve  technical  problems.  (Even if  they  are
   dilemmas?)

     10.  Always be honest.  (When love says silence?)

     11.  Never hurt anybody. (At the price of honesty?)

     We  need  to articulate ordering principles which  do
not easily  yield to abuse by some people to promote their
own  advantage;     principles which are  unlikely  to  be
respected by the victims of their abuse.

     1.  Work    to    facilitate    open    and    honest
   relationships.

     2.  Pray   together   for   personal   and   communal
   integrity.

     3.  Encourage  and help others to  solve  their  own
   problems   to   meet   their   own   needs   with
   personal   and communal integrity;  by  doing  so
   yourself.

     4.  Acknowledge    and   deal   honestly   with   the
   realities  and   relationships which  you  cannot
   control;    do  what  you can to change  what  is
   yours to change within yourself.

     5.  Relate   sympathetically  to  other  people   and
   encourage   them    to deal openly  and  honestly
   with    their   dilemmas    and   problems   with
   recognition of the differences between them.

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