    %REAL INJURY HARM VIOLENCE OBJECT ILLEGAL MORAL 920719

     There   are   many  disintegrative   taboos,    moral
prohibitions,  and injunctions;  the consequences of which
are    evil---leading    to    personal    and    communal
disintegration.

     There  are  also  many other actions  and expressions
which  lead  to   personal   and  communal disintegration:
murder,  cutting part of a person  off, physical injury to
another  person  which disintegrate  cells  of  the  body,
poisoning another person, stealing the legitimate property
of another person,   destroying the legitimate property of
another person, telling lies to another person, misleading
another  person about facts  and  reason,   poisoning  the
environment   of  another  person,   obstructing   another
person's ability to do what is  legal and proper for  them
to   do,   limiting  another  person's  range  of  choices
arbitrarily, denying justice to another person;  and  many
other.    Such  actions  lead  to  personal  and  communal
disintegration and to alienation; and so are evil.

     Often  people  are unwilling and/or unable to play  a
constructive  role  in describing the  hazards  which  are
inherent in  engaging  in  certain  patterns  of  thought,
attitudes,   emotions,   and  behavior:   hazards  to  the
integrity of self,  others,  and the community as a whole.
Descriptions of the inherent hazards (in the light of real
personal  and communal  experience)  are likely to be more
helpful,  than are arbitrary, capricious,  and prejudicial
injunctions which  are not connected via stories with real
existential experiences.
