     Covetousness  is  a natural consequence of particular
patterns of attitudes,  assumptions,  beliefs,  ideals and
values.   Given particular patterns---covetousness follows
even    when   there   are   injunctions,    prohibitions,
commandments and threats of punishment which are  designed
to prevent covetousness.

     Covetousness is not an objective reality which can be
controlled by manipulations of some kind.  Covetousness is
a  reflexive reality which flows from particular  patterns
of attitudes, assumptions, beliefs, ideals and values.  To
deal   wisely   with  covetousness  we   need   to   trace
covetousness  to  the  particular patterns  of  attitudes,
assumptions, beliefs,  ideals  and  values which naturally
engender   covetousness.    We  cannot  deal  wisely  with
covetousness  with an overlay of  repressive  injunctions,
prohibitions, commandments and threats of punishment which
are designed to prevent covetousness.
