     To  deal  helpfully/effectively  with  ALIENATION  as
the dominant feature of,  and perhaps the essence of,  OUR
EVIL-RELATIONSHIPS   (which  occasion  both  personal  and
communal  disintegrations)  ---  we need to recognize  the
diverse negative impacts upon  OPEN,   HONEST and GRACIOUS
communications   ---   due  to  the   presence  of   EVIL-
RELATIONSHIPS which are dominated by ALIENATION.  Negative
impacts can include:

1.  Inhibitions, repressions, supressions, blockages.

2.  Perversions, diversions, scramblings, confusions.

3.  Prohibitions, regulations, censorship, taboos.

4.  Denigrations, punishments, ridicules.

5.  Formalizations, regulations, standarizations.

6.  Depersonalizations, objectifications, fragmentations.

7.  Tracking, recording, archieving, classifying.

8.  Evaluating, interpreting, explaining, complaining.

    The  more  we are involved in RELATIONSHIPS which  are
dominated by ALIENATION ---  the more often we are  likely
to  be  impacted  in ways suggested above.    We  will  do
well,   and  more often be well if we work  on  mitigating
alienation  in   our relationships.    We cannot  be  more
healthy without mitigating  extant alienation.   We cannot
mitigate  extant alienation ---   without  increasing  the
frequency  and  depth of communications which  are   open,
honest,     gracious and mutually satisfying.   Such sweet
fruits cannot be grown or enjoyed   UNILATERALLY.    EVIL-
RELATIONSHIPS   cannot   be mitigated  in  the absence  of
growing   relationships    which  are    open,     honest,
gracious,  civil,  cooperative,   and mutually satisfying.

     The traditional  efforts of men to  eliminate  "EVIL"
have   usually   included   attempts   at  the  UNILATERAL
managment/control  of:  coalitions,   threats,   coercion,
violence,  and destructive-attacks.     Such   traditional
attempts by men  to   eliminate  "EVIL"    have  generated
increases   in  RELATIONSHIPS  which  are  dominated    by
ALIENATION.    This  has  been  accomplished  UNILATERALLY
by   augmenting   ALIENATION   in  existing relationships,
and  by initiating new relationships  which are  dominated
by  ALIENATION.    Such UNILATERAL efforts have  regularly
yielded more bitter fruits than sweet fruits for the  vast
majority   of  those  who  have  become  involved.     The
survivers have rarely  learned  helpful  lessons  from the
bitter  outcomes  of such UNILATERAL efforts ---   so  the
UNILATERAL attempts to eliminate "EVIL"  continue  in  the
traditional ineffective ways.

     EVIL cannot be eliminated UNILATERALLY.   EVIL can be
eliminated  only  through  COOPERATIVE efforts  among  the
people  who  are  trapped in  EVIL-RELATIONSHIPS.    Major
changes  must occur within such people for them to  become
able  to  engage in COOPERATIVE  efforts!    Such  changes
usually  are  initiated  by  true-lovers  who  are   truly
involved in open and honest relationships.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
