      Domineering  people may argue that EVIL-BEHAVIOR  is
behavior whose consequences are:  terrible,  bad,  tragic,
etc.    It  is  difficult to label  realities  other  than
RELATIONSHIPS  with   the   appellation  "EVIL"   and  not
thereby naturally-generate EVIL-RELATIONSHIPS.  Naturally-
generated  consequences  are  generated  independently  of
human decisions, choices and actions; not because of human
decisions,  choices and actions.  The difficulty in trying
to  helpfully  label  some behavior  as  EVIL-BEHAVIOR  is
rooted  in  trying to separate out  the  human  decisions,
choices  and actions which may play significant  roles  in
determining  what consequences follow  or are  associated-
with the  BEHAVIOR which  domineering people are  prone to
label  as "EVIL-BEHAVIOR".  If the presumed "consequences"
of  some   vulnerable  people's  behaviors  are  in   fact
determined  by  domineering people's punitive actions  ---
who  is  to   be   properly   held  accountable   for  the
"consequences";  the  vulnerable-people, or  the punitive-
domineering-people?

      In   the  middle  of   many-reflexive-relationships-
of-alienation  it  is  virtually  impossible  to  make  an
unbiased  judgment    as   to   who   "determined"     the
consequences  following  some multiple-action.     Who had
the   power   to "determine"    the  consequences;     the
weak-and-vulnerable people,   or the strong,   successful,
rich   and  powerful domineering-people?   Which  is  more
likely?

      In  the above kind of situation it is not even  easy
to   determine   the  relative  abilities  of  people   to
"determine"  the consequences.    Presumably weak and poor
people   sometimes  turn  the  tables-of-power  upon   the
initially   wealthy-and-powerful;    as  in  the   French-
Revolution and the American-Revolution.    Were the Roman-
Emperors  or the Poor-Christians more powerful?   Who  can
make  an  unbiased-judgment  and say who caused  what   to
happen in the end of the conflict?

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