%DISHONEST VAGUE INTENTION IMPLICATION PLAN MISLEAD 900708

     People  who  are unwilling to be honest  about  their
limitations  have  a  way  of leaving  a  trail  of  vague
intentions  and  implications that  leave  themselves  and
others disappointed. By implying "yes" to some proposal to
do  something,  while not really making a promise to  make
the  sacrifices  essential to carrying through---they  set
themselves and others up for disappointments.

     Each person has a limited amount of time which may be
spent.  Making vague plans to do more than can be done  in
the  limited amount of time available is  dishonest,   and
leads  to disintegration in self and others with whom  one
is in significant relationships.  Ultimately time must  be
budgeted   as  ultimately  financial  resources  must   be
budgeted.   With prudent financial management some  people
can  manage  to  have more money to spend  than  do  other
people.  It is not so with time,  for each person has  the
same  amount of time to spend;  and may spend it  honestly
and  wisely,   or  fritter it away with  vague  intentions
having no particular focus.

     It  is  dishonest  to claim that one  does  not  have
enough  time.  It would be more honest to say that one  is
imprudent in intending to do more than one has time to do.
It  is especially dishonest to promise to do more than one
will  have  time to do;  for some of those  promises  will
inevitably be broken.

     Dishonesty about our budgeting of time is one of  the
many  disintegrative  aspects  of our lives,   if  we  are
trapped in a society which leads us to behave like addicts
by  expecting  more  of us than is  humanly  possible  for
mortals  to  do.   If  we  do  not  confront  unreasonable
expectations with honest responses,  we contribute to  the
addictive behavior of our society and become victims of it
by  contributing  to its collusive games  of  mutual  self
deception regarding our limited powers to be and do,  what
we dishonestly intend and/or expect of ourselves and  each
other.
