%CHOSEN SYMBOLIC HARM AFFRONT INSULTING MEANING 990523
Some people choose to assign harmful meanings to
symbolic acts which other people do --- when the choice
might more reasonable be to assign meanings which are not
harmful. Assignment of non-harmful meanings would
clearly be more helpful when no harm is intended, desired,
or expected by the other people. Even where the other
people intend, desire or expect their actions to inflict
harm --- it is possible to undermine their intent,
desires, and expectations --- by unexpectedly re-assigning
other neutral meanings to their actions. Their intent,
desires, and expectations are symbolic; not objective.
The outcome of their actions depends upon the symbolic
meanings which are accepted by people who know of their
actions. Often potentially disintegrative outcomes of
actions can be averted by choosing to accept meanings
which are not disintegrative --- thereby mitigating
accidental and/or intentional disintegrations of persons
and their communities.
