      Often  legalists  are  far more concerned  with what                               
prohibited actions people  engage  in  ---   than with the                                                                    
motivations  and  logic which leads people  to  engage  in                                                                    
prohibited  actions.     The  motivations  and  logic  for                                                                     
legalists  so  focusing  their attention ---  are  usually                                                                     
related to legalists':                                                              
                                                                                                                               
     1.  Focusing  upon controllable   objective realities                                                        
and relationships ---   rather  than upon participating in                           
uncontrollable reflexive realities and relationships.     
                                                                                                                               
     2.  Motivations and  logic  for their  preoccupations                                                                     
with issues of control.                                                           
                                                                                                                               
     3.  Concerns  related to  being  in  control  of  the                               
conditions for being personally acceptable.         
                                                                                                                               
     4.  Focusing   upon  technologies  to  achieve  their                                                  
chosen goals --- rather than upon transcending alienation,                                        
misunderstandings,    prejudice,   contentiousness,    and                
violence.           
                                                                                                                               
     Legalists cannot help people to transcend alienation,                                        
misunderstanding, prejudice, contentiousness  or  violence           
---  because their  motivations  and logic  block the way.      
They,  through  their  assumptions  and  approach,  set up                                
conditions which engender:  alienation,  misunderstanding,                                        
prejudice,  contentiousness and violence ---  rather  than           
help people to transcend them.   The fruits of  legalists'                                                                    
assumptions and approach are tragically bitter --- because                          
legalists cannot let go of issues of control; of being  in                                                           
charge and determining outcomes.                                                                                               
                                                                                                                               
      So long as we are preoccupied with issues of control                                                           
we  make  assumptions about and approach  people  in  ways      
which  engender  suspicion,  distrust,  defensiveness  and                                                                     
alienation --- rather than reconciliation, respect, trust,                                      
and cooperation.                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in
