  %ROOTS CONFLICTS DIFFERENT CONCEPTS VALUES IDEALS+950826
             %REFLEXIVE RELATIONS SELF OTHER OBJECT 950826

     The  roots of many of our conflicts and occasions  of
violence  may be found in the differences between  how  we
regard  the  many  differing  relationships  between:  our
selves,  other persons,  other objects,  and their various
relationships.

     Because we are reflexive creatures our  relationships
are  reflexive;  and we reflect in differing ways upon our
differing reflexive relationships.   We  often think  that
our choices  and  perceptions  are  the  only:   possible,
reasonable, proper or conceivable choices and perceptions.
We   are   likely  then  to  be  in  conflict  in  violent
relationships:   with other people who have made differing
choices,   and have experienced differing  perceptions  of
what  relationships are:  possible,   reasonable,   proper
and/or conceivable.

     If we have not reflected carefully upon the multitude
of  differing  ways  in which there  may  be   differences
between how  we regard  the  many  differing relationships
between:  our selves,  other persons,  other objects,  and
their  various relationships---then we may  not  recognize
the roots of our many conflicts and forms of violence.  We
then are unlikely  to articulate and clarify for ourselves
or others (in writings, talks,  speeches, conversation and
dialogue)   the roots of our many conflicts and  forms  of
violence---and  so  be imprudent/unwise  in  dealing  with
them.

     If  we  think/insist that all our  relationships  are
and/or  should be simple---we will are unable to recognize
and deal with the complexities which do exist and which we
cannot eliminate through conflict and violence.

     Some   people  perceive  themselves  as  having   the
opportunity, privilege, right, duty, and/or capability of:
owning,   being in charge of,  managing,   controlling  or
otherwise    administering---people,     objects    and/or
relationships among people,  objects and/or relationships.
Such  perceptions  are the foundations for many  conflicts
and  occasions of violence;  especially if the people  who
have such perceptions believe themselves to be superior to
other people because of such perceptions on their part.
