To make a hard and fast rule which people are required to honor and obey within all contexts in all times and places. 2. For people of one class, culture, heritage, race, belief system, life style, economic status, kind of education, religion or profession---to unilaterally impose rules and regulations upon others who are significantly different from themselves. 3. To personally judge, condemn, reject, ridicule, banish, exclude, excommunicate, disfellowship, or otherwise alienate anybody for a failure to conform to some rule, regulation, law, demand, taboo, injunction, demand, or expectation. 4. To try to control human thoughts, emotions, perceptions, desires, expressions, intentions, beliefs, convictions, expectations, ideals, values, or behaviors. 5. To regard oneself as superior to other people by virtue of one's own ideals and values and how well one perceives oneself as living in fulfillment of one's own ideals and values. 6. To believe that one has reliable knowledge of how to tell the difference between good people and evil people. 7. To regard good/evil as an attribute of individual people and/or their characteristics, attributes, and actions---apart from the personal relationships of other people with them. 8. To regard good/evil as an attribute of particular circumstances, events, contexts, situations or natural processes---apart from how people relate to each other in response to those particular circumstances, events, contexts, situations or natural processes. 9. To regard objectivity, analysis, measurement, computation, manipulations, control, complexity, sophistication, prediction and/or conformity as signs of goodness within the context of personal relationships; or their absence as signs of evil within the context of personal relationships. 10. To regard any fix, technique, technology, system or procedure as being good apart from the nature of the personal relationships among the people affected by those who respect, affirm or otherwise use the fix, technique, technology, system or procedure. It is often helpful to: 1. Focus attention upon the presence or absence of personal and communal integrity as inter-dependent realities. 2. Seek to resolve conflicts to the advantage of all present and potential participants; rather than to work to assure greater advantage to some participants as winners, at the expense of other participants as losers. 3. Seek to recognize, identify, describe and openly/honestly talk about the roots of our conflicts within our ideals and values which are in conflict with each other, and so are leading us into tragically disintegrative efforts to control what we cannot control. 4. Focus attention upon patterns of dishonest behaviors and relationships which are characteristics of the collusive games of mutual self deception that are played by addicts of all kinds with their supportive codependents. 5. Give and accept gifts of true security understood as the freedom to enter into honest intimate relationships and so be vulnerable within safe contexts. 6. Clearly distinguish between situations which present us with dilemmas for which there are no technical solutions; and technical problems for which there is general agreement about (and little conflict over) what technical solution will resolve the problem to the advantage of the people concerned. 7. Regard "evil" as a characteristic properly attributed only to personal relationships where there are negative judgements, condemnations, rejections, ridicule, excommunications, banishments, exclusions, disfellow- shipments, or other alienations of people for a failures to conform to rules, regulations, laws, demands, taboos, injunctions, or expectations. 8. To disavow seeking perfection of any kind. 9. To disavow the use of deception, dishonesty, personal rejections, alienation, excommunication, and other forms of personal manipulation for any cause. 10. To love mercy, seek justice and walk humbly together in the presence of God. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
