There are many people who seek to perfect their
ability to identify and prescribe fixes for imperfections.
Often their fixes make matters worse, rather than better;
either because of the nature of the prescribed fix, or
because of the alienative ways in which the fixes are
imposed upon the situations.
Many fixes make matters worse because the fixes are
imposed by "busy-bodies" who are not invited, and are not
welcomed.
Some fixes make matters worse because the fixes are
prescribed on the basis of inadequate information,
misunderstandings, false assumptions, and unverified
theories of cause-and-effect.
Other fixes make matters worse because they are
generated in keeping with a paradigm which is unsuited to
the situation at hand: objective, subjective, reflexive,
intimate, sexual, spiritual, business, political,
quantitative, qualitative, personal, etc.
Fixes which are the fruits of collusive games of
mutual self-deception are rarely helpful to anybody.
Personal relationships cannot be fixed without the
mutual understanding and cooperation of the participants
in the personal relationships. Outsiders cannot fix the
personal relationships of insiders, nor vice-versa.
Alienated people cannot fix each other's
relationships without reconciliation. Thus reconciliation
is the first step towards improved personal relationships.
If alienated people fail to seek and find common ground,
it is highly unlikely that they will enjoy improved
personal relationships.
Because words often mean different things to
different people --- people may approach and use the same
texts in contrasting ways with contrasting outcomes. Some
people may approach and use a given text so that it points
the way to liberation and improved personal relationships.
Other people may approach and use the same text as a
manipulative tool --- whose use leads to increased
alienation, resentment, anger, coercion and violence. The
outcome of focusing upon a text depends greatly upon how
people approach and use the text.
Beware of fixes which make matters worse, rather than
better.
