Alienation usually grows in quit and slow ways; e.g., in:

1. Friendships not renewed,
2. Missions not renewed or reviewed and revised,
3. Being dismissive of "different-people",
4. Dismissing 
   a. Critical people,
   b. People who expose our selfish-motives,
   c. Excessively-honest-people,
   d. Passive resistors of our "good" efforts,
   e. True-Lovers who do not conform to our standards,
   f. Drop-Outs from our Collusive Games of Mutual Self-Deception.
   g. Dismissing "supporters" of our efforts; i.e., traitors to our cause.
5. Gradually "Buying-Into" the Life-Styles of Domineering-Bullies and Mobbing-Mobsters.
6. Gradually Being-Seduced into Playing-to-Win --- Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception.

Alienation is generated when Domineering-Bullies treat Communal-Resources within God's Space-
Ship-Earth --- which they discover; as possessions which they can claim as their own, and control 
as exclusively-their own, and proceed to control them as exclusively their-own; e.g.; air, water, 
minerals, soil, land, etc.

What is the origin of the concept of having personal-exclusive-possession of something?  Was it a
graciously given reality; or was it an alienatively-created inhumane-invention that has generated
much alienation; like weapons of war, terrorism and Domineering-Militarists?

Was the origin of the concept of exclusive-personal-possessions - - - in a gracious-meeting of the
whole-crew-of-spaceship-earth?

Was the origin the unilateral gift of an extremely powerful: Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent
Eternal-Being that Transcends the Whole-Crew of Space-Ship-Earth?  What does the record show?

How are we now - - -to Graciously Help-Each-Other to Mitigate-Our-Own Alienations --- that are 
due to the honor which has been given to the Alienative-Concept of Exclusive-Personal-Possessions-
and-Control?  

How are we to deal with the: Envy, Greed, Resentments, Hoarding, Hate, and Acedia which 
have been the fruits of honor shown to the concept of Exclusive-Personal-Possession-and Control?

Might we cooperate in Mitigating Our-Own Alienative-Conflicts and Our-Own-Alienations in these
regards?   Why so?
