People who have learned that lesson have a difficult time coming to terms with natural consequences which are not under human control, and may continue to believe and act as if their problem is to "get to" the humans who are responsible for their problems with tragic consequences. To them the key to life is to find how to control the people who control contrived consequences. Young people who watch adults contrive consequences to convince young people that certain behaviors should not be engaged in, are young people likely to come to believe that all consequences are contrived, even when there is strong evidence staring them in the face that what they believe simply is not so. Some people have a very strong will to believe, and will do so in the face of strong contrary evidence. The cause of personal and communal integrity is not well served by contriving consequences in the form of human rewards and punishments. It is more helpful to promote openness and honesty about natural human experiences and the natural consequences. Such openness and honesty are more likely to promote personal and communal integrity than are contrived consequences. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
