Intellectual planning to achieve desired affective effects usually does not lead to the desired affective effects. Emotional fulfillment is not a goal which is achieved through careful planning and the use of techniques; for emotional fulfillment is associated with open and honest dialogue, not with careful manipulation and control which are essential to the fulfillment of a plan to achieve a chosen goal. Careful manipulation and control are likely to undermine the openness and honesty which are essential to the personal and communal integrity which provide the context for emotional fulfillment. Emotional fixes, in which we seek to achieve something through planning, manipulation and control, usually fail to yield the emotional fulfillment that they are designed to achieve---because the manipulations which are central to the fixation and fixing of fixes usually undermine the motivation to be open and honest in vulnerable dialogue which is central to emotional fulfillment. The alienation which is occasioned by what many people regard as good control and manipulation may be transcended only by paying the price of reconciliation; i.e., by giving up the ideals and values which lead to the attempts to achieve good control through what are regarded as appropriate manipulations and coercions of personal relationships. The chaos of disintegration and entropy increasing alienation can be transcended by the expenditure of energy in the work of reconciliation which restores the open and honest channels of communication in mutual dialogue.
