     There is an enduring tension between viewing         
       friendships, relationships, intimacy and sexuality 
         in purely utilitarian/instrumental terms; and    
           viewing them in terms which transcend all      
            purely utilitarian/instrumental terms; as     
              fountains of: insight, discernment, values, 
                idealism, and transcendent motivations.   
                                                          
     Utilitarianism is often associated with attempts to  
       concentrate power; and so with the corruption of   
         concentrated power under the leadership of       
           domineering people in the service of the       
             Domination Systems of the provincial:        
               Gang Lords, Dictators, Kings, or           
                 whoever else is "in charge".             
                                                          
     Servants-of-Love seek to transcend the perspectives  
       of servants-of-utilitarianism --- and the risks    
         inherent in serving utilitarianism; e.g., in     
           dishonesty, collusions, addictions,            
             codependence, domination, etc.               
                                                          
     Servants-of-Love are bound to be criticized for      
       lacking any systematic set of: laws, commandments, 
         rules, prescriptions, proscriptions, goals,      
           plans, regulators, managers, controllers,      
             or other utilitarian-means to maintain       
               law-and-order in coherent ways. There      
                 are no guarantees granted by Love        
                   to serve as the assurance of           
                     reliable and predictable real:       
                       security, invulnerability,         
                         safety, stability, knowledge,    
                           certainty, self-confidence,    
                             self-assurance, self-esteem. 
                               Love does not help us to   
                                 be among the few best    
                                   people in town; so why 
                                     be non-utilitarian   
                                       servants-of-Love   
                                         which fails to   
                                           control those  
                                             inferior to  
                                               us, who are
                                                 superior 
                                                   people.
                                                          
     Domineering people find that it is to their special  
       interests' advantage to focus on utilitarian ways  
         of focusing people's attention upon various:     
           goals, achievements, purposes, plans ---       
             which can be most readily manipulated,       
               managed, control, guided, directed,        
                 diverted, perverted, seduced; more       
                   than can the guidings of               
                     Holy Spirit in keeping               
                       with Love's Will.                  
                         Gods's Will is                   
                           that we love                   
                             each other.                  
                               Shalom.                    
                                Peace                     
                                 One                      
                                  1                       
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
