The often-sought-for achievements/enjoyments are impossible --- because the kinds of people suggested on the left refuse to acknowledge that unilateral actions undermine the fulfillment of that which is hoped for. The fulfillment of that which is hoped for always entails cooperative inter-relationships and mutual- dialogue among many different kinds of people. The WAY toward such fulfillment entails honest-dialogue and mutual-cooperation in ways which are avoided/undermined by the kinds of people pointed to by the entries on the left. The entries on the right below point to desiderata wherein RELATIONSHIPS are absolutely central and essential --- except for the entries at the bottom on the right --- which healthy people do not seek or enjoy; marked by "?". It is helpful to move from the left to the right --- to any of the items on the right; not just to the item directly across to the right on the same line. However, motion from the right to the left was not intentionally considered in drawing up the lists below --- and connections from right to left may not make any real sense in various instances. ARROGANCE INTIMATE-RELATIONSHIPS DOMINATION HEALTHY-RELATIONSHIPS MISLEADING HONEST-RELATIONSHIPS MALICIOUSNESS GENTLE-RELATIONSHIPS SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS RIGHT-RELATIONSHIPS PERFECTIONISM RIGHTEOUSNESS DISHONESTY SALVATION ADDICTIVE SERENITY JUDGMENTAL JUSTICE MILITARISTS PEACE/SHALOM DICHOTOMOUS INTEGRITY SUPERIOR CONTROL? EXCLUSIVE PURITY? VIOLENCE SECURITY? COERCION INVULNERABILITY? COMPULSIVE PERFECTION? In the absence of REVERENCE people become preoccupied with what is pointed to on the left above; and fail to achieve or enjoy what is pointed to on the right above. See the book "Reverence" by Paul Woodward for more about REVERENCE. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
