Although the reason for failure may lie in the limitations of the paradigm, the paradigm also blinds them, so they can not see that reason. Fault, blame, guilt, rejection and similar responses to failure will likely come to those who fail. The paradigm which engenders the failures can not deal with the failures. Those whose lives are the incarnation of the paradigm feel driven to defend the paradigm and may find it necessary to engage in misleading behavior, half-truths, and complete falsehoods to defend the paradigm. They may find it necessary to avoid any consideration of facts, questions, experiences, relationships, etc. which reveal the weaknesses of and defenses of the paradigm. They may thus become trapped in collusive games of mutual self deception which are dedicated to the ultimate defense of the paradigm. Participants in and an intimate spectators of these games are forbidden to give open consideration to any facts, questions, experiences, relationships, etc. which reveal the weaknesses of and defense of the paradigm. Violence done to the freedom to communicate undermine the possible development of a new paradigm, myth, story, theory, conceptual framework, etc. in terms of which to share in integrative ways insights into how best to cope successfully and meaningfully in the aspects of life in which the repressive paradigm is impotent. These considerations are relevant with regards to traditional paradigms in terms of which we see national security, personal security, economic well being, human health, sexual fulfillment, moral righteousness, spiritual salvation, intellectual respectability, personal independence and rights. When there are significant human perceptions and experiences which are never openly and honestly discussed one may suspect that some paradigm is being defended in spite of its limitations---defended by people who worship it as an idol. They are willing to sacrifice personal and communal integrity in the service of their paradigm serving as the focus of their ultimate concern. When all their sacrifices have been completed there will be no personal and communal integrity to sacrifice, and there will be no people or communities to enjoy the fruits of their sacrifices.
