%PLAN DESIGN GOAL PARADIGM PERSON CONSEQUENCE BLAME 920618

     When    we   experience   undesirable   and    tragic
consequences we will do well to seek to recognize the KIND
OF SOURCE from which the consequences flowed;  rather than
to  assume  thoughtlessly that the consequences should  be
blamed upon the most convenient sacrificial scapegoat.

     Consequences  flow  from:  plans,   designs,   goals,
paradigms,   persons,   intentions,  attitudes,   systems,
perspectives,     beliefs,    convictions,     collusions,
addictions,     codependencies,    dishonesty,    honesty,
integrity, expectations, fears, anticipations, etc.

     We need to ask questions such as:

     What were people's plans,  designs, goals, paradigms,
intentions,  attitudes,   systems, perspectives,  beliefs,
convictions,    collusions,    addictions, codependencies,
integrity,  expectations, fears, anticipations, etc.? Were
they well intended,  sincere,  open,  honest,  responsive,
humble and well balanced?

     Did   people  make  threatening  or   non-threatening
statements,   affirmations,  reports,   confessions,   and
descriptions? Did their statements, affirmations, reports,
descriptions,    or   confessions  imply  (even  if   only
indirectly and covertly)  a  threat which made others feel
insecure?

     Were  actions taken and communications  designed  and
planned  to be integrative?  Was the paradigm in terms  of
which  people  operated  coherent  and  characterized   by
integrity; or was it ill-informed and incoherent?

     Were   those   people  most  likely  to  be   blamed,
themselves the victims of a disintegrative paradigm?
