     Our personal and communal integrities depend upon the
focus of our lives and the implications which are implicit
upon  how  we  focus  our  attention;   i.e.,   the  tacit
understandings which go with how we focus our attention.

     Consider   the   following  common  foci   of   human
attention:

     LAWS,  LEGAL RULES,  REGULATIONS,  COMMANDMENTS

     TABOOS,  FORBIDDEN ACT,  REQUIREMENTS,  PRESCRIPTIONS

     DISCIPLINE,  MANAGEMENT,  PLANS

     When  the above foci in some combination are  further
combined  with  tacit understandings that the failures  to
conform  to  what  is  required should  be  followed  with
punishments  which  are  initiated  by  humans---then   it
follows  that  there  will be developments  which  can  be
pointed to by the following words:

     REBELLION,  ALIENATION,  ESTRANGEMENT,  REJECTION,

     MISUNDERSTANDING, EXCOMMUNICATION, DISFELLOWSHIPPING,

     BANISHMENT, IMPRISONMENT AND CRUCIFIXIONS.

     What  follows  from the way we  focus  our  attention
depends  both  upon the conscious foci of  attention---and
upon the  tacit  understandings about what  should  follow
when  people  fail to conform in keeping with how we  have
focused  our  attention.    Often we need  to  focus  more
attention  and  discussion upon what have been  the  tacit
understandings---for   tragedies   often  flow  from   the
disintegrative nature of those  tacit  understandings when
they are combined with the overt foci of attention.
