Some non-practical considerations are determinative, and often lead to alienative human relationships; rather than to better health. When practical considerations have given way to ritualistic preoccupations, the preoccupations may be expressed in: 1. Avoidance of people who are ritualistically "unclean"---even though for all practical considerations they are clean and not at all likely to transmit any disease. Ritualisticly "unclean" becomes a tool for separating "them" from "us"; a means for widening the gap between opposing populations which are ignorant about and alienated from each other. The tool is used to accentuate conflicts, misunderstandings, and self-righteousness. 2. Focusing upon obeying rules---rather than upon being sensitive to people's needs, desires, fears, anxieties, hopes, aspirations, experiences, perceptions, feelings and other emotions. People get out of touch with each other's realities and their environments. 3. Attempting to elaborate and perfect the set of cleanliness rules in terms of which to try to be perfectly clean; the better the set of rules which are being obeyed, the better are the conformal people who obey the more perfect rules. Self-righteousness and self-condemnations abound --- rather than healthy communities. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
