    %EVIL REBELLIOUS NON-CONFORMITY CONTROL COMMAND 961124

     If  non-conformity  is  regarded as  central  in  the
nature of evil  behavior  there  is then  little chance of
transcending evil because:

     1.  Creative  people  will  often  be  seen  as  non-
conformists who are evil and worthy of rejection.

     2.  Rebellious  people  will rebel  in non-conformist
ways---both  before and after any efforts are made to  get
them to conform.

     3.  People who are preoccupied with issues of control
will engage in abusive efforts to get others to conform---
and so engender much misunderstanding and alienation.

     4.  People  who  are preoccupied with being  accepted
and  liked  will try to conform and please abusive  people
who  want  to  be  in control---and  so they will help  to
generate  an abusive    community   full    of    violence
and    other disintegrative behaviors.

     5.  Idealistic  people  will  always  be  upping  the
standards  for  good  behavior  and  try  to  get  perfect
conformity to unrealistic standards.

     6.  Each  group  will try to  distinguish  itself  by
demanding  conformity of its members to high standards  of
behavior which clearly differentiate  the group from "less
desirable others."

     7.  Disintegrative,     rather   than    integrative,
behaviors will be encouraged.

     Regarding  non-conformity  as somehow central to  the
nature   of   evil   leads  to   personal   and   communal
disintegration.

                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
