      Our   expectations/attitudes  can  mislead  us  into
tragic  patterns of behavior.   Not all  expectations  are
innocent!


      Many   of   the   tragic  aspects   of   narcissism,
selfishness   and  egocentrism  are  rooted  in  immature,
uninformed    and   dysfunctional   expectations    and/or
attitudes.

      What  we  expect depends upon what  we  believe  and
assume.   Is it our  right to have and own and control 100
times as  many goods,  servants and possessions as many of
our  neighbors within Space-Ship-Earth?   Such disparities
lead inevitably to EVIL-RELATIONSHIPS among the passengers
in   Space-Ship-Earth!    Wise and prudent  passengers  in
Space-Ship-Earth  in  its  journey   through    Space-Time
carefully avoid/transcend such  disparities  in wealth ---
in order  to  avoid   the  tragic  consequences  of  EVIL-
HUMAN-RELATIONSHIPS.

      To avoid  the  tragic  consequences  of  EVIL-HUMAN-
RELATIONSHIPS   we  must  engage  in  thoughtful  Systems-
Analysis   of  the  origins/foundations   of   EVIL-HUMAN-
RELATIONSHIPS --- in contrast to the essential foundations
of personal and communal integrities and integrations.

      What we expect --- often flows from what:

        we DO know, and from what we DO NOT know;

        we are ignorant about, and where we are confused;

        our prejudices are, and with whom we are familiar;

        kinds of intimacies we do, and/or DO NOT enjoy;

        we can be honest about, and our collusive games;

        we desire selfishly, and what we share graciously;

        we clutch, and what we graciously let-go;


        embarrasses us, and what blocks our dialogue;

        we most fear, and what we most desire.

      Expectations  are intimately and inevitably  wrapped
up  together  with all of the above aspects of  our  lives
together; even when we try to unwrap our lives and live in
glorious-isolation, self-righteousness and arrogance.   If
we  expect  otherwise ---  we live tragic and  meaningless
lives of communal and personal dis-integration.  Beware of
what  you  and others expect because of all of our  unwise
and imprudent human:   ignorance,  confusion,  prejudices,
dis-honesty,   collusions,  addictions,  greed,  fears and
desires.

     We  need to take care about how  we set our  personal
priorities  because  of  our  expectations,   beliefs  and
convictions.     Self-confidence  and  certainty  in   our
expectations ---  often leads us into tragic  consequences
which we fail to expect ---  because  of  our  EVIL-HUMAN-
RELATIONSHIPS   which   we   generate  by   creating   and
maintaining our favorite  forms of:  ignorance, confusion,
prejudice, dis-honesty,  collusions,  addictions,   greed,
fears   and  desires  ---   in  "glorious"  isolation  and
alienation.   Beware of what you and others  thoughtlessly
EXPECT. Think honestly and carefully about expectations!
