    %MAINTAIN CONFLICT REVENGE MEMORY BALANCE SCORE 930325

     The  ideal of balancing the score on old conflicts by
keeping alive the memory of ancient injustice does much to
maintain  and  perpetuate  disintegrative  conflict.   The
perpetuation of  ancient conflicts does not  lead  anybody
towards   personal  or  communal  integrity;   but  rather
tragically leads  each new generation into the horrors  of
ancient conflicts whose lessons have not been learned.

     Addictive people want to get even.   Addictive people
do not want to resolve conflicts.   Thus addictive  people
nurse memories  of ancient conflicts and so perpetuate the
ancient conflicts.    They lack transcendent ideals  which
would  set  them  free from the ancient  conflicts.    The
ideals  and  values of addictive people lead  them  to  be
compulsively  preoccupied  with ancient conflicts,  and to
set   the   stage  for  future  crises  which  make   life
"exciting".     To them the means to salvation is  getting
even; rather than getting to know their enemies.
