     ALIENATION   usually  entails  someone  going  to  an
extreme which harms another person ---  with,  or without,
intent.

     There  are  many ways in which we may go  to  harmful
extremes --- and thereby occasion ALIENATION.

     It is virtually NEVER  overall coherent-or-helpful to
view   ALIENATION   as  desirable  in   any   ultimate-or-
utilitarian sense;  neither as a primary-good --- nor as a
good-means.

     It  is virtually ALWAYS  overall  incoherent-and-mis-
leading  to  view  ALIENATION with indifference --- nor as
ultimately-tolerable.

     How then is it,  that it is common for people  to GO-
TO-EXTREMES   which   occasion  MUCH-ALIENATION  ---    by
compulsively:  focusing-upon,  wanting,  seeking, getting,
taking:

 1.  Far more than enough?
 2.  Keeping Far-More-Than-Enough?
 3.  Control-Of Far-More-Than-Enough?
 4.  Perfection?
 5.  Isolated-Ideals?
 6.  Isolated-People?
 7.  Vulnerable-People?
 8.  Being-Invulnerable Our-Selves?
 9.  More-and-Newer Technologies?
10.  Having and Being-In-Control?
11.  Domination?
12.  What-Others-Have?
13.  What-we-do-not-Already-Have?

     All  of  the  above  occasion  ALIENATION  by   doing
VIOLENCE to:

 1.  Moderation,
 2.  Balance,
 3.  Integrities,
 4.  Integrations,
 5.  Mutuality,
 6.  Hospitality,
 7.  Dialogue,
 8.  Trust,
 9.  Coherence,
10.  Cooperation,
11.  Colaborations,
12.  Diplomacy,
13.  Civility,
14.  Civilization,
15.  Hope,
16.  Visions,
17.  Aspirations,
18.  Creativity,
19.  Generosity,
20.  Reverence, etc.

     Going-to-Extremes  Does-Violence-To the above to  the
extent  that there are Processes-of-Exclusion  which  flow
from  Going-to-Extremes  ---  for  then  integrations  and
integrities do not endure;   are not robust.  This we need
to understand and share graciously.

                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
