Stealing, 2. Sexual-Abuse, 3. Dishonest-Gain, 4. Physical-Assault, etc. When there is physical evidence and/or multiple witnesses who agree on what was done --- which has been previously forbidden --- communal agreement is possible regarding what should be done about an "objectionable- behavior" which has demonstrably occurred. It is far more of a Dilemma/Problem when objections are brought regarding how a Mutually-Agreeable Reflexive- Relationship between/among two or more "adults" has been evolving. There is far less agreement about what "Relationships" are "objectionable" --- for a variety of reasons: 1. Evidence is rarely truly: "objective", free-of-bias, and free of prejudice. 2. The realities which are central to the "objections" are Reflexive-Realities rather than "Objective-Realities". 3. The "objectors" may have "Dominant-Motivations", which are understandably as "questionable" as are the motivations of the participants in the Reflexive- Relationships --- regarding which "Dominant-Objectors" are upset. 4. The "legislation" which is the basis for lodging "objections" is not definitive in a really clear way as to what particular behaviors are Legitimately-Objectionable; and what is adequate evidence that the behaviors have occurred, at whose instigation, and with what results. It is difficult to helpfully Mitigate-Objections regarding Reflexive-Relationships --- in a way which is parallel to the judicial model for dealing with the first "objectionable-behaviors" pointed to at the opening of this essay. It is difficult to helpfully Mitigate-Objections regarding Reflexive-Relationships --- in a way which fails to deal explicitly, clearly, coherently and honestly with the realities of: 1. Domination-Systems and their Loyal-Supporters. 2. Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception. 3. Addictive-Codependent-Relationships. 4. Addictions to Drugs, Sex, Relationships, Work, etc. 5. Conflicts between religious groups/institutions. 6. Conflicts regarding the regulation of sexuality. 7. Fallen, but redeemable, "Powers That Be" re. W. Wink. 8. Military-Industrial-Complexes. 9. Corporations granted Rights of Private Individuals. 10. Alienative Concentrations of Powers and Wealth. 11. Evil-Relationships suffused with Alienation. 12. Which envisioned "successes" are in fact impossible. Be Graciously-Together in the Many-Ways-of-Shalom. (c) 2006 by Paul A.
