    %CREATE RESOLVE CRISIS DILEMMA CONFLICT TENSION 931206

     We  need  to learn how to recognize  the  differences
between the kinds of people who  are  prone to and skilled
in creating/using crises, dilemmas,  conflict and  tension
--- on the one hand; and other kind people who are skilled
in  and  disposed  to   engage   in   conflict resolution,
dilemma  transcendence,   crisis  closure,   and   tension
relaxation.

     It  may  not  be obvious that there  are  people  who
actively engage in creating and making use of crises, even
crises  which are tragically debilitating  to  themselves.
Enlightened  self  interest  is  not  always  operative---
because  many  people  do  not  understand  themselves  or
others.  Behavior is often not  rational,  reasonable,  or
enlightened.   Some people feel unfulfilled in the absence
of the excitement of a crisis, and willfully create crises
to enliven their lives if they  feel that their lives have
grown  dull in the absence of the tension,  conflict,  and
violence of an envigorative crisis.   They feel more alive
in  a  crisis  and so often  work  to  undermine  conflict
resolution.
