%DICHOTOMOUS BLOCKS GOOD LOVE ALTERNATIVES EVIL SIN 961029

     Often  people  who  are preoccupied  with  issues  of
control and  dichotomous questions block other people  who
are inclined to chose  and do good things  which are truly
expressive of God's Love.

     Dichotomous  controllers see situations as  entailing
only alternatives  between  doing the  "right" thing---and
doing the "wrong" thing; doing "good" or doing "evil".  If
another   person  chooses  to  do  other  than   what  the
dichotomous controller regards as the "good"  thing; it is
automatically  regarded  as the "evil"   thing.    For  to
dichotomous  controllers  in each situation there  can  be
only two alternatives; the "good" and the "evil".

     In truth life is full of continuous spectrums of good
things  which  we may chose to do in expression  of  God's
Love.    The  important choices are not between  only  two
alternatives  which  somebody has labeled as  "good"   and
"evil".  The important choices entail selecting from among
a  spectrum of alternatives which may or may not  fit  our
talents,    circumstances,    resources,    opportunities,
dispositions,  etc.   Sometimes the choice which best fits
us  is  to rest and be renewed so that we will be  fit  to
work  on another day.    Often dichotomous controllers  do
not permit that alternative to be chosen---in spite of the
spirit of the commandment to rest one day a week.
