The beliefs, attitudes and assumptions are based upon the presupposition that spiritual and inter-personal relationships are much like physical inter-object relationships. Objects do not demonstrate wills which are contrary to the wills of people who push the objects around. Abused objects do not communicate feelings in the way which abused people do. Physical objects do not show that they have intentions, expectations, fears or in other ways are involved in reflexive relationships of the sorts which are common between people. There are many differences between the realms of objects as objective realities, and the realms of people as reflexive realities. Attempts to carry over the ways of coping with inter-object relationships into the realm of inter-personal relationships are attempts doomed to lead to tragic consequences because such attempts are based upon inappropriate beliefs, attitudes and assumptions. They do not take into account the differences between inter-object relationships and inter-personal relationships. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
