The real motivations, ideals, values, and injuries which drive and lead dichotomous rationalizations are hidden through collusive efforts to mask them with reason, logic, scholarship, intellectual scatter bombs, etc. Dichotomous rationalizations may use reasons to justify rejections; but they never allow complementary reasons to be used to argue for acceptance. Dichotomous rationalizations may use reasons to justify tolerance; but never allow complementary reasons to justify unconditional personal acceptance. Dichotomous rationalizations may use reasons to argue for engaging in conflict; but never allow complementary reasons to be used to justify cooperation. Dichotomous rationalizations may use reasons to justify loyalty and team work; but never allow complementary reasons to be used to expose the disintegrative consequences of collusions, dishonesty, addictions, and codependent support networks. Dichotomous rationalizations make use of yes/no, good/evil, black/white, moral/immoral, legal/illegal, right/wrong logic; but never allow wholistic perceptions and integrative insights to be used to enlighten conversations and dialogue. Dichotomous rationalizations are not the fruits of people seeking the truth; but rather are the efforts of colluders seeking to mask compulsive efforts to hide the truth about their irrational passions, emotions, and motivations which are rooted in their hidden and forgotten dysfunctional families and communities of origin. Dichotomous rationalizations lead to violence against personal and communal integrity; and so set the stage for additional generations of victims engaged in dichotomous rationalizations as adult children of dysfunctional families of violence.
