Much of what we fear flows from evil relationships which are characterized by: alienation, estrangement, coercion, manipulations, violence, threats, punishment, excommunication, condemnations, addictions, codependency, collusions, conflicts, disease, terrorism and war. Such evil relationships and their bitter fruits are not the fruits of the works of Love. We yearn to be free of the bitter fruits of evil relationships. Yet, in seeking to escape from such bitter fruits --- we often engender evil relationships. We too often regard evil as characteristic of people, places, things, words, thoughts, needs, and integrative desires --- rather than as a characteristic of personal relationships. If we are confused regarding what it is appropriate to attribute evil to---we are unlikely to deal with evil in appropriate ways. When we attribute evil to people, places, things, thoughts, needs and integrative desires --- we become alienated from them --- within evil relationships with people of like and contrasting views about what we may appropriately attribute evil to. When we attribute evil primarily to evil relationships we become free to work with other people (both inside and outside of evil relationships) to transcend and overcome alienation estrangement, coercion, manipulations, violence, threats, punishment, excommunication, condemnations, addictions, codependency, collusions, conflicts, disease, terrorism and war. There is much which we fear and yearn to be free of. We become free of much which we fear and yearn to be free of --- when we recognize, name, describe and talk about why it is that it is most helpful to attribute evil primarily to dysfunctional human relationships --- including those in which we are participating. Evil relationships cannot be fixed by "others" by themselves if we are participating in the evil relationships --- which is often the case. We are participating in evil relationships when we attribute evil to other people, places, things, thoughts, needs and integrative desires --- apart from our selves. Such attributions are part of what engenders our evil relationships. It is arrogant to make such attributions. We cannot be free of evil --- so long as we make such attributions. We cannot "overcome" evil so long as we make such attributions. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
