     Some  people wish for and/or believe in a  simple  in             
which   effective   living  involves   concentrating   all                               
attention upon just a very few basic ideas, ideals, values                                         
and truths.   Such people are not inclined to deal  openly                                                                    
and honestly with  truly  complex  situations  and  inter-                      
relationships.    They  perceive the universe through  the        
filter  of  their  wish  for and/or  belief  in  a  simple             
universe;  and relate to the world accordingly.    We will                                                              
here refer to them as simplistic people.   "Simplistic" is                                                                    
not  the  same as  "simple".    "Simplism"   according  to                                                                     
"Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary" is "the reduction of                                                                     
a  problem to a false simplicity by ignoring  complicating                                                                     
factors."                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                               
     It is not helpful to impose any false simplicity upon               
a  complex situation.    Neither is it always possible  to      
deal with  all aspects of  complex situations in each  and                                                                     
every case.    What is  not helpful is COERCIVE IMPOSITION                                                                     
of FALSE simplicity.  Yet many simplistic people are prone               
to  engage  in  coercion  and even  violence  --- in their           
efforts to make the world a simple place ---  by trying to                                                                     
generate agreement within  groups of people in  regards to                             
their perception of the world/reality as being very simple        
and  free  of  complicating  factors.    They  often  play                                                                     
collusive  games  of  mutual  self-deception  which entail 
COERCIVE IMPOSITIONS of FALSE simplicity upon others. They                                                               
cannot tolerate  consideration  of many inter-related  and               
often  complementary ideas,  ideals,  values and truth ---                                         
especially if they appear to be contradictory when  viewed                                                           
through the selective  and/or  distorting filters of their                                
form of simplism.
