We take for granted that what we want will be good for us---and that the primary questions of life have to do with getting what we want, with issues of resource and technology. Our tragedies often flow from our blindness to how shallow is our sense of what will lead us to personal and communal integrity, fulfillment and satisfaction. We treat our fears and addictive compulsions as reliable guides. We pick up and carry other people's compulsive desires and addictions, and treat them as jeweled compasses; when they are really heavy burdens. We do not take time to meditate upon what we are carrying, where we are headed or why. When we do not quickly reach meaningful satisfaction---we go faster. We run when we might walk, take airplanes rather than boats, and communicate by technology rather than by truly touching each other. Many of our frustrations are rooted in our shallow understandings of our needs, desires, fears and compulsions---for we have not taken time to consider them and talk about them openly and honestly. We often value and treat as essential those things which cause us great pain. We cast off as unessential the secure foundations of personal and communal integrity. But we cannot learn from the signs which point to our tragic mistakes---because we believe that all that stands between us and our fulfillment is our lack of power, resources and technology to get what we want. We have taken for granted that what we want will be good for us---and that the primary questions have to do with getting what we want, with issues of power, resource and technology. Given our assumptions there cannot be any tragedies; there can be only the technical problems upon which we compulsively fixate with addictive passion and frustration. We will do well to spend more time carefully considering the nature of our real needs, desires, fears and compulsions---and to take time to talk about them openly and honestly so that we can deal with them wisely, rather than compulsively.
