We may be better able to facilitate and promote both personal and communal integrity if we understand the roots of this alienative sense of DUTY. What is its motivation? People with this alienative sense of DUTY are often themselves alienated from others. They are the victims of a culture in which this DUTY TO DOMINATE is pervasive. In such cultures, many members of the culture are in competition with each other over being successfully the most dominant. There can be only one successfully DOMINANT KING OF THE MOUNTAIN. This means that there must be many losers in the competition. Losers are alienated from winners in many competitions --- and certainly so in competitions over who will be the most dominant through the use of manipulative, coercive and violent techniques. People with this kind of a sense of DUTY cannot respect those who do not have their kind of a sense of DUTY --- and cannot get along with those who do have their kind of a sense of DUTY. Also, they cannot get along with nor respect people who do not think in "either/or" terms. They cannot cannot resolve conflicts and do not want to resolve conflicts. Whenever there is a pervasive ultimate concern about the outcome of competitions over dominance --- participants repress their concerns about alienation, violence, coercions, manipulations and addictions to fixes, solutions and technologies. In such circumstances, insights and communications are repressed, and people cannot see what they are doing to themselves and each other. Personal and communal disintegration becomes pervasive and what may have been a great civilization and/or culture decays, loses its integrity and falls. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
