Such reflexive realities violate the rule that all really real realities are objective; i.e., like objects which can be manipulated. Addictive people who are preoccupied with issues of control, discipline, authority, and management are unable to deal wisely with reflexive realities such as: empathy, sympathy, pleasure, jealousy, envy, hate, appreciation and joy---for such reflexive realities cannot be controlled, disciplined, or managed. People who are jealous and/or envious cannot respond wisely to other people's pleasures, joys, happiness, empathy and/or sympathy---for their jealousy and envy, pertain to inclinations to control what cannot be controlled. We cannot wisely turn to technocratic experts for assistance in dealing with empathy, sympathy, pleasure, jealousy, envy, appreciation or joy. The systematic plans and procedures of technocrats are not appropriate tools when we are confronted by reflexive realities such as empathy, sympathy, pleasure, jealously, envy, appreciation or joy.
