     We find some: behavior-patterns, thoughts, images,   
       attitudes,  hopes and aspirations to be associated 
         with our: dis-ease, pain, embarrassment, illness,
           being ill-at-ease, loss-of-power, loss-of-     
             control, insecurity, fear, anger, and        
               intolerable-vulnerability. They are        
                 intolerable!  People who engage in them  
                   are intolerable.  There are laws which 
                     make them all: illegal, prohibited,  
                       proscripted; and worthy of---      
                         condemnation, punishment,        
                           exclusion, rejection,          
                             excommunication, banishment, 
                              and much more ---           
                                without limit! So be it!  
                                  God said so long ago!   
                                    It cannot change!     
                                      It must not change! 
                                                          
     Tragedy is often rooted in legalists/judgementalists 
       making it be illegal -- for other people to do with
         each other, together, what the legalists         
           (for some unknown reasons), fear, dislike, or  
             view as inherently, "bad", "evil", "terrible"
               (for some unknown reasons) --- perhaps     
                 because of thoughtless associations made 
                   at some time in the past by themselves 
                     or by other people who were not well,
                       well-informed, or free to be true  
                         to themselves and each other who 
                           was near, and maybe dear, to   
                             each other.                  
                                                          
     Tragedy is often rooted in imprisoning others in     
       our own prisons --- which we do not know about,    
         understand, or want to get out of --- because    
           we fear what we suspect is outside.            
                                                          
     Tragedy is often rooted in being unwilling to test   
       in prudent experimental ways --- what we see as    
         fearful ways --- for reasons which are utterly   
           lost in some unknown and/or misunderstood past.
                                                          
     Tragedy is often rooted in ancient rules and         
       regulations which seemed to make sense to ancient  
         peoples within their ancient: environments,      
           circumstances, cosmologies, mythologies, and   
             ways of understanding what seem unto them    
               to be "cause-and-effect" correlations;     
                 but which are not truly/essentially      
                   "cause-and-effect" relationships.      
                                                          
     Tragedy is often rooted in believing that our laws   
       are God's Laws; i.e., perfectly reliable           
         descriptions of the truly/essential consequences 
           which will follow from particular "causes"     
             over which we can/do have control.           
                                                          
     Tragedy is often rooted in believing that our laws   
       are truly eternal laws which neither we nor any    
         other people can ever transcend, subvert, change,
           improve-on, reformulate, restate, or           
             articulate in more helpful ways.             
                                                          
     Tragedy is often rooted in worshipping laws which    
       served useful purposes in past communities; but    
         which are being used in our communities to:      
           oppress, depress, suppress, control,           
             dominate and keep under control people who   
               are: poor, weak, thirsty, homeless, hungry,
                 naked, inadequately dressed, inadequately
                   housed, powerless, victimized, abused, 
                     rejected, condemned, excommunicated, 
                       banished, and punished for being   
                         true to themselves and others    
                           like themselves.               
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
