At its best human/communal life is full of paradoxes,
confusion, uncertainty and vulnerability.
Attempts at eliminating paradoxes, confusion,
uncertainty and vulnerability entail serious risks of
eliminating the best of human/communal life.
Alienation is central to the various forms of evil
relationships, inclinations, motivations, desires, fears,
and actions.
Reconciliation is central to the best in
human/communal life, growth, transformations, salvation
and redemption.
The more people who are involved in truly meaningful
relationships and cooperative ventures --- the more
complicated and delicate the ventures are. The less
people who are involved in superficial relationships and
cooperative ventures --- the less complicated and certain
they are.
Attempts to eliminate complexity, ambiguity,
paradoxes, spontaneity, creativity, risks and
vulnerability --- entail tendencies to eliminate
unconventional participants, cooperation, mutual
understanding, honesty, openness, dialogue, intimacy,
trust, joy, and enjoyment. Such eliminations entail
alienation --- which is central to all that is evil in
human relationships.
Human attempts to achieve CERTAIN forms of security,
joy, enjoyment, understanding, mutuality, honesty,
openness, dialogue, community, law, order, & success ---
usually lead tragically to coercion, violence, anger,
resentment, revenge, alienation, misunderstanding,
vulnerability, defensiveness, insecurity, fragmentation,
and disintegration of both people and their communities.
Collusive games of mutual self deception in regard to
these facts of life --- do not change these facts of life.
People who play such games tragically illustrate these
facts of life --- through the natural outcomes of their
dishonest games mutual self deception.
