     What are some of the factors which undermine:        
       timely-learning, healthy-growth, cooperation,      
         mutual-understanding, healthy-balance, love,     
           civility, civilization & conflict-resolution?  
                                                          
     There are many such factors; and often they are      
       hidden from our view by: ignorance, collusions,    
         dishonesty,  confusion, prejudice, bias,         
           our being out-of-touch with people, AND the    
             nature of cyclic-cause-and-effect-chains of  
               inter-connected-events-and-processes.      
                 We often cannot discern horrible         
                   feed-back-loops which undermine our    
                     diverse forms of integrities.        
                       Systems-analysis may be beyond     
                         the realm of our conscious       
                           thought and analysis.          
                                                          
      1.  We may be required by collusive people to       
            ignore our own experiences --- in favor of    
              yielding to their domineering: demands,     
                commands, prescriptions, proscriptions,   
                  and unsubstantiated theories of magical 
                    ways to make required-things happen;  
                      and/or to keep forbidden-things     
                        from ever happening.              
                                                          
      2.  We may have been taught to be ultimately        
            concerned in idolatrous ways about how to get 
              into heaven &/or how to avoid falling into  
                hell --- for reasons which cannot ever be 
                  confirmed in terms of the experiences   
                    of anybody we will ever know. Such    
                      teachings make us be the pathetic & 
                        thoughtless servants of the       
                          entrapped domineering           
                            supporters of our collusive   
                              Domination Systems.         
                                                          
      3.  We may have fallen into alienative patterns of  
            interacting with each other --- making it     
              impossible to learn from our own &/or from  
                each other's --- accidental, collusive,   
                  and/or tragic mistakes/accidents ---    
                    because we cannot be honest-with, in- 
                      dialogue-with, or cooperate-with    
                        each person from whom we have     
                          become estranged/alienated.     
                                                          
      4.   We may have been taught (or come to believe)   
             that the world is very simple in ways which  
               make it possible to understand everything  
                 in terms of either/or, right/wrong,      
                   true/false, dichotomous patterns of    
                     questions, answers, assertions,      
                       demands, thinking, etc.            
                                                          
      5.  We may have been taught (or come to believe)    
            that GOING-TO-EXTREMES in beliefs, attitudes, 
              thoughts, intentions, desires, hopes, etc.  
                is worthy of respect, honor and support;  
                  e.g., as a sign of loyalty and/or       
                    of faithful dedication to our cause.  
                                                          
      6.  We may be driven thoughtlessly by our patterns  
            of: fears, anxiety, anger, rage; coercion,    
              violence, attack, defense; punishments,     
                corrections; retaliations, vengeance,     
                  reprisals, retributions, counter-       
                    attack, wars, terrorism, etc. ---     
                      which are justified in fearful      
                        ways by our anxiety, anger and    
                          self-righteous/arrogant rage.   
                            Our priority/main-concern     
                              may be AVOIDING all such    
                                bad-things, bad-people,   
                                  evils, sins, and so     
                                    many evil-people;     
                                      so alienating all   
                                        our-selves, each  
                                          other and also  
                                            "THEM".       
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
