The carpenter who builds houses is proud of the quality houses he builds and is respected for the quality of houses he builds. His achievement in part lies in the objective character of the houses he builds. Much of the focus of his attention is upon achieving certain objective goals having to do with the quality of the houses built. The carpenter's motivation would appear to be focused upon objective achievements. The carpenter's motivations are focused as they are in large part because the building of high quality houses leads to the enjoyment of respect and affective support on the part of other people who are important to the carpenter's sense of self worth. To the carpenter the building of high quality houses is a step in achieving and maintaining a stable sense of self respect, worth, and esteem. The quality of the houses built is intimately connected to the quality of the carpenter's reflexive considerations and how comfortable the carpenter feels with him/herself. How comfortable the carpenter feels with her/himself depends upon the quality of the houses built and upon how others reflect upon the quality of the houses built. That upon which reflexive considerations depends includes both the objective quality of the houses built and the non- objective quality of the inter-personal relationships within the community as they pertain to the carpenter. Thus the reflexive satisfaction of the carpenter depends not only upon the objective quality of the houses built, but also upon the manner in which that objective quality of housing was achieved as regards the interpersonal relations which pertain to the process of building. It is not only the objective quality of the housing that makes a difference. The subjective quality of interpersonal relationships which pertain to the objective quality of the housing also make a difference. Personal achievements and their associated self respect, worth and esteem exist in both the objective and subjective realms of human realities; in ways which can not be completely separated from each other, but which have somewhat separate aspects which need to be recognized as such. It is not good to confuse the objective quality of housing built with the quality of the reputation of the carpenter who built the housing. The housing a carpenter builds may be of a quality which is not closely related to the quality of the subjective relationships which the carpenter enjoys in the community. The carpenter may work more on developing the quality of his reputation than upon the quality of his/her housing; or vice versa. Any disparity between the two qualities can last only so long, but the disparity can last long enough to make a tragic difference to many people if the disparity is not recognized before it makes such a tragic difference. The differences between the objective and subjective aspects of human motivation and achievement are recognized reasonably easily in the case of carpenters who build obviously objective houses. The corresponding differences are not so easily recognized in the lives of workers who focus upon manufacturing, distribution, trade, litigation, adjudication, personal health, education, research, reporting, writing, criticism, artistic creations, entertainment, political leadership, religious leadership, etc. In each instance, however, the focus of human endeavor has some distinctively different aspects: the subject matter of the overt attention and the reflexive aspects of the community in considerations of the person's performance with regard to the overt subject matter. In each instance there are differences which it may be important to recognize. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
