Behavior which they can not understand in terms of their own experience and cognitive categories threatens them, and they tend to inhibit such threatening behavior through their legal actions. By their own definitions all of their own behavior is perfectly legal, no matter how devoid of love it may be. Thus lovers who are violated by such legal behavior have no legal recourse by which to defend their loving behavior which threatens legalists who can not understand love. Lovers can not with integrity limit their behavior to such as can be readily categorized, labeled, and filed away in a catalogue of permitted behavior. To become well regulated automatons would be for their love to die, and they are not disposed to commit that kind of suicide, even though by the legalists' standards it is both legal and desirable. Legalists use more than just legal procedures to promote understandable conformal behavior. To more subtle tools of tradition, taboo, ritual, language, collusion, education, professionalism, etc. are also used to inhibit behavior which is not understandable to those in power. Creative people are encouraged to conform to tradition and not rock the boat. Taboos operate to inhibit the taking of un-called for initiatives. Solemn rituals and language embodies the best of past culture in ways which promote conventional understanding, rather than the exploration of new experiences and perceptions. The collusions of education and professions insure that conventional understanding is passed on to the new generation in ways which will insure that creative students will learn to think and feel as the last generation did. All of this is made more acceptable by permitting low levels of creativity and initiative within the paradigms of the culture. It appears that new things are happening---when in fact most people are imprisoned in helpful constraints which enable emotionally immature people to cope without excessive threat. Thus the culture which gives people the foundations for meaning and coping also keeps them from too rapidly making progress into new ways of living and relating to each other. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
