     Unresolved   conflicts   fester  within   contentious                
persons as individuals,   and among contentious members of                
a   community   as   a   whole    ---      and    engender                                                          
destructive emotions.     Such  persons  and   communities                                                                
are   often motivated  by  such destructive emotions. They                                                                     
attempt to use raw  force and power to do/achieve what  is                                             
impossible   to do/achieve  coercively.     Through  their                                
coercive  efforts they:                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                               
     1.  Engender  additional destructive emotions such as                                                                     
frustration,  anger, rage, resentment, etc.  Such emotions                                                                     
are  commonly projected upon others unfairly,    unjustly,                                                               
unwisely,    and imprudently ---  hence their  destructive                                                                     
outcomes.                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                               
     2.  Engage  in  incoherent dishonest behaviors and in                                                       
"coherent" dishonest behaviors --- such as collusive games                                                   
of  mutual  self-deception  ---   all  of  which  engender 
personal and communal disintegration.                                                                
                                                                                                                               
     3.  Block    the  possibilities  of   learning   from                                                                     
mistakes  made  ---   thereby inhibiting their  growth  in                                                                     
knowledge, wisdom and prudence.                                                                                                
                                                                                                                               
     4.  Block the possibility of  dealing wisely with the                                                                     
challenges of changing environments  and changing personal                                                                 
relationships.                                                              
                                                                                                                               
     Such  destructive emotions,  behaviors and  blockages                                                       
grow  in proportion to their existing presence ---  and so                                                                     
grow exponentially;  i.e.,  geometrically.   People become                                                                    
increasingly  prone to be coercive,  forceful,  assertive,                                                                     
contentious,  and violent ---  rather than  knowledgeable,           
wise, prudent, gentle and effective.     People try to win                                                                    
--- rather than try  to resolve  conflicts  peacefully  as                                              
peace-makers.                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                               
     In  the  absence  of  peacemakers  who  know  how  to                                               
effectively  facilitate  conflict-resolution  within   and                             
among  people ---  people and communities disintegrate  in                                                                
tragic ways which they do not recognize.
