No one person has control of all of the above motivational considerations. The community as a whole does not have control of all the above motivational considerations, because the community does not have control of all that transpires within any individual. People can not control consequences which are independent of human choices and responses; for such consequences flow from the nature of reality and events which are independent of human choices and responses. One person may define an action to have one meaning, yet it may be perceived by others to have quite a different meaning. The significance of an action does not depend upon any one person's definition, but upon individuals' and the community's perceptions of what may be its practical consequences and meanings. Differing conceptions of relationships between actions and consequences lead to different perceptions of meanings; and so to different significances. Significances can depend upon differences in theories of cause and effect, as well as upon differences in decisions regarding what should happen. People may become confused about the difference between: natural laws which transcend human decisions, actions, and responses on the one hand; and human laws which reflect human desires, expectations, hopes, demands, etc. They are different kinds of laws. To regard them as not different from each other is disintegrative in ways which people can not control. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
