To attempt to succeed in such a self-management program UNILATERAL --- inevitably leads into: dishonesty, pretentiousness, mis-leading behaviors, and collusive games of mutual self deception. Such a self-management program cannot "succeed" in the absence of attempting to UNILATERALLY manage other people's perceptions, thoughts and feelings about self. Such a UNILATERAL self-management program inevitably leads toward buying-into: The Domination System, The Myth of Redemptive Violence, The Myth of Redemptive Coercion, The Myth of Redemptive Unilateral Salvation, etc. --- all of which are alienative efforts. Believing that we can be "good" and avoid "evil" by UNILATERALLY managing our own thoughts and feelings about each other in conformity to a proper set of standards --- thus leads toward buying-into: The Domination System, The Myth of Redemptive Violence, The Myth of Redemptive Coercion, The Myth of Redemptive Unilateral Salvation, etc. --- all of which are alienative efforts. UNILATERAL behaviors are disintegrative behaviors; even when then entail efforts to conform to "good" standards to prevent "evil". UNILATERAL behaviors are disintegrative behaviors; because they always undermine integrative-cooperation, integrative-honesty, integrative-intimacy, integrative- unity, integrative-coherence, etc. Standards for behavior which impose responsibilities upon ISOLATED individuals as ISOLATED individuals --- demand UNILATERAL behaviors which are disintegrative behaviors; disintegrative of COMMUNAL: cooperation, honesty, intimacy, unity, coherence, etc. COMMUNAL disintegration and PERSONAL disintegration always go together; they are inseparable. Each one leads to the other one. Standards for behavior which impose responsibilities upon ISOLATED individuals as ISOLATED individuals --- lead to both COMMUNAL and PERSONAL disintegrations. Standards for conformal behaviors on the part of individuals thus lead toward both COMMUNAL and PERSONAL disintegration --- no matter how "good" the standards are. No form of conformity leads reliably to both PERSONAL and COMMUNAL integrations and integrities; because all forms of conformity are in the end UNILATERALLY imposed through coercion and/or violence which are/is alienative, even when they are in-conformity self-imposed to try to avoid- alienation. Coercion and violence are essentially alienative forms of behavior. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
