Confronted with a complex reality they project its dark shadow upon a straight line and declare that one end of the straight line represents "good" and the opposite end of the line represents "evil"; and that there is nothing more to the complex reality than the two ends of the dichotomous straight line of projection. There are people who feel that it is of ultimate importance to define what forms of expression of affection are non-sexual, and what forms of expression of affection are sexual in nature. They are concerned with making rules and regulations which say in black and white terms when each form of expression of affection is good, and when it is evil. They are ready, to pass alienative judgements and issue condemnations when people transgress over their sharply defined boundaries in their sharply defined one-dimensional world of simplicity. Such people cannot imagine the possibilities of creative conflict resolution; for creative conflict resolution requires open and honest dialogue with the "enemy"; and that is treason which is punishable by death. Dichotomous addictive people cannot conceive of cooperating with the integrative enemy in creative conflict resolution, for cooperation with the integrative enemy in open and honest dialogue is treason. Thus dichotomous addictive people perpetuate conflict, violence, alienation, and disintegration. No matter how powerful and influential they may be in their disintegrative ways, they do not merit respect or support. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
