 %COMPULSIVE COMPETITION COOPERATE CONFLICT RESOLVE+960120
%REPRESS UNDERSTANDING HONEST DIALOGUE INTIMACY SIN 960120

     Societies  and  communities  which  are  compulsively
preoccupied   with   competition   (athletic,    academic,
business,  political,  religious, scientific,  etc.)   are
prone  to undermine human tendencies to be cooperative  in
resolving conflicts between ideals, values and principles;
and  between  the  people  who  are  the  incarnations  of
conflicting ideals, values and principles.

     Societies  and  communities which  lift  capitalistic
competitive ideals, values and goals to such a high  level
that  they  receive  unlimited  respect---and  receive  no
critical    appraisal   in   terms    of    disintegrative
consequences---are  bound  to  reap personal and  communal
disintegration due to unresolved  conflicts between people
and their conflicting ideals, values and principles.

     It  is  essential that there be  cooperation  between
people who are committed to conflicting ideals, values and
principles.    If people who are committed to  conflicting
ideals,   values,  goals and principles are so preoccupied
with competition that they cannot think of finding ways to
cooperate---they  are doomed to perish  in  disintegrative
conflicts   characterized   by   sophisticated   analysis,
fragmentation,  misunderstanding,   manipulation, control,
coercion,  violence, terrorism and wars.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in
