     We humans are often strange and foolish creatures.

     We often imitate and follow leaders.   We want to  be
members of  some  community.   We desperately want  to  be
included,  wanted,  appreciated,  etc.   Thus we often  do
foolish things through uncritical imitation and following.

     Much   that   other  people  do  is   disintegrative,
alienative, destructive, illogical, unreasonable, useless,
fruitless and/or incoherent.   In such instances following
and/or imitating them is foolish or worse.

     It  is  particularly foolish for us to follow  and/or
imitate  others  in  their actions towards  us  which  are
disintegrative,    alienative,   destructive,   illogical,
unreasonable, useless, fruitless and/or incoherent TOWARDS
US.   Then we do to ourselves what they have done to us---
without recognizing how utterly foolish it is to do so. If
we are willing  to be so utterly foolish---how can anybody
protect us against our own foolishness?

     In  our foolishness we often predict that we will  be
unable to do anything right,  well,  correctly,  properly,
etc.     Such a prophesy is clearly not objective---it  is
destructively reflexive in that it is self-fulfilling in a
self-destructive way.   How more disintegrative can we get
than  that?   By copying other people who do that  without
recognizing how utterly disintegrative that is!
