We may fall into the trap of feeling that it is our duty to suffer equally with victims of dysfunctional patterns of perceptions and behaviors. It is hard to suffer equally with them, without becoming like them; dysfunctional. Thus we may fall into the trap of feeling that it is our duty to be dysfunctional ourselves---in order to empathize fully with the victims whom we feel it is our duty to rescue. We may feel that it is immoral for us to enjoy the fruits of functional patterns of perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, values and ideals---when there are others who do not enjoy the fruits of functional patterns. Thus we may feel it is our duty to become and/or remain dysfunctional to help us be qualified to rescue dysfunctional people. How can we presume to rescue people who are fundamentally different from us; dysfunctional, when we are fully functional? (c) 2005 by Paul A.
