Yet, such judgements are ill founded and engender illness, being ill-at-ease, dis-ease; and so engender medical and mental disease. Ill-founded judgements are often founded upon and/or guided by: 1. Beliefs that humans should all conform to some ideal-forms of: right, righteous, proper, acceptable, etc. The assumption is that there are ideal forms to which humans should/must con-form. Then judgements have to do with comparing actual humans with the ideal-forms to which all humans should conform themselves. 2. The belief/fear that "different" humans are a terrible threat to "normal" humans "like-us". 3. The sense that it is good to be in control, and that good people are in control; so that to be good one must be in control of other people who are inferior to us. 4. The sense that human history, destiny, meaning, etc. are subservient to, made significant by, and/or under the control of --- mysterious forces, powers, and/or presences which somehow transcend the direct human knowledge and experience of common people. We must depend upon the very few un-common people who can apprehend that which transcends us; and gives meaning to our lives, tribulations, and efforts. Of course, only such people can identify themselves with certainty! We must trust them and their judgements without question. They are immune to the corrupting effects of the concentration of great amounts of power in any one place! Trust them fully! 5. We could not survive a direct encounter with God, so He has appointed others with whom we can survive direct encounters --- to act on His behalf and in His place. They announce to us who they are in utterly reliable ways. They announce to us what are the foundations for making reliable judgements --- except as regards them, and their guidance and use/abuse of us! Helpful judgements are founded upon understanding the nature of the essential foundations for both personal and communal integrity --- as written about elsewhere in these essays. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
