If so, Question #2: Would it be helpful, gracious, and/or integrative to say that such isolated "things", "actions", "messages", "communicationsn" or other such "realities" are IN-AND- OF-THEMSELVES ESSENTIALLY-EVIL --- apart-from-their- relationships-with-others? Let us here consider the above second question first, starting with the suggestion that EVIL always pertains to RELATIONSHIPS between ALIVE beings; e.g., that EVIL can- pertain-to RELATIONSHIPS between/among people who are ALIVE-BEINGS --- and so are involved in RELATIONSHIPS which-can-be-EVIL. The suggestion made here is that EVIL CANNOT-HELPFULLY-BE-SAID to-pertain-to-realities which DO-NOT-INVOLVE-RELATIONSHIPS between/among people who are ALIVE-BEINGS. It is also suggested here that RELATIONSHIPS which do not entail ALIVE-BEINGS --- cannot helpfully be said to be EVIL, e.g., the relationships between and among electrons-and-protons are never EVIL --- since such relationships do not include any ALIVE-BEINGS. Thus evil CANNOT be present if there are no ALIVE-BEINGS present. However, EVIL can-be-present if the BEINGS who are present are alienated, estranged, separated, and/or isolated from each other --- because EVIL always pertains to alienation, estrangement, separation and/or isolation in their diverse forms WITHIN RELATIONSHIPS- BETWEEN/AMONG-ALIVE-BEINGS. In situations of-total- alienation we may say (both helpfully and paradoxically) that there are therein NO MEAINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS; because in such situations ALL-RELATIONSHIPS are characterized by alienation, estrangement, separation and/or isolation in some form. In a paradoxicaly way then, EVIL may be present "in the absence-of-meaningful- relationships"; but cannot-be-present in the absence of ALIVE-BEINGS. (The apparent paradox originates in the practice of saying that a relationship of utter- alieantion is not-a-relationship.) Let us now return to the first question asked above: "Can there exist "things", "actions", "messages", "communcations", or any other "realities" which are ESSENTIALLY-DISINTEGRATIVE and so are ESSENTIALLY-BEYOND- ANY-INTEGRATIVE respect, honor, support or reverence?" Note that in this first question NO ALIVE-BEINGS are explicitly included. In light of the other observations and descriptions offered above --- the "things", "actions", "messages", and other "realities" which ARE- EXPLICITLY-INCLUDED cannot be ESSENTIALLY-DISINTEGRATIVE --- unless among the "other-realities" there are two or more ALIVE-BEINGS who are included and are involved in some RELATIONSHIP(s) which are in some sense: integrative, healthy, meaningful, helpful, or otherwise merit respect, honor, support or reverence. Within the framework of the above suggestions there CANNOT-EXIST ANY: "things", "actions", "messages", "communications" or any other "realities" which are ESSENTIALLY-EVIL by themselves in isolation. EVEN-SO there there CAN-EXIST some: "things", "actions", "messages", "communications" or other "realities" which are ESSENTIALLY-DISINTEGRATIVE and ESSENTIALLY-BEYOND- ANY-INTEGRATIVVE respect, honor, support and/or reverence! The following three numbered EXAMPLES are suggestive of what CAN-EXIST as ESSENTIALLY- DISINTEGRATIVE and ESSENTIALLY-BEYOND-ANY-INTEGRATIVVE respect, honor, support and/or reverence: 1. A computer virus, worm, trojen-horse, or other creation distributed to-do-damange without any hope of promoting any integration or reconciliation; e.g., with intent to do damage, harm, and/or promote personal and/or communal disintegrations. 2. A stone, arrow, bullet; or a chemical, atomic, hydrogen, or biological bomb created and sent to-do- damange -- without any hope of promoting any integration, reconciliation or healing; e.g., with intent to do damage, harm, and/or promote personal and/or communal disintegrations. 3. A statement, message, or communication which is sent as part of a systematic and unilateral effort to: alienate, excommunicate, estrange, isolate, dominate, confuse, control, subjugate, denigrate, vulnerate == make-vulnerable, destroy, vaporize, or otherwise eliminate ALIVE-BEINGS and/or their INTEGRATIONS and/or INTEGRITIES; e.g., with intent to do damage, harm, and/or promote personal and/or communal disintegrations. The following statement may appear to most people to be a contradiction of the previous three-numbered- EXAMPLES; HOWEVER: In keeping with previous suggestions above; the above three-numbered-EXAMPLES DO NOT POINT TO ANY: "things", "actions", "messages", "communications" or any other "realities" which are ESSENTIALLY-EVIL. This is so because the previous three-numbered-EXAMPLES do not point to any ALIVE-BEINGS and do not point to any RELATIONSHIP between/among any ALIVE-BEINGS --- WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL TO EVIL AS A PRESENT REALITY. EVIL as a PRESENT REALITY is ESSENTIALLY: confusing, prejudicial, biased, dishonest, misleading, tragic, hopeless, alienative, disintegrative, excommunicative, etc. In the presence of EVIL many truths appear to be: false, improper, destructive, threatening, contradictory, incoherent, wrong, etc. No AUTHORITY or POWER can eliminate the presence of EVIL. However, AUTHENTIC-TRUE- LOVERS can respond to the presence of EVIL in ways which are: integrative, clear, just, unbiased, honest, liberating, hopeful, reconciling, etc. Such responses occur every-day among AUTHENTIC-TRUE-LOVERS who refuse to respond to the presence of EVIL in ways which augment the presence of EVIL. TRUE-LOVERS respond to the presence of EVIL in ways which ARE-NOT: VIOLENT, COERCIVE, UNILATERAL, DOMINEERING, DESTRUCTIVE, DIS-INTEGRATIVE, ALIENATIVE, EXCOMMUNICATIVE, CONFUSING, CHAOTIC, MISLEADING, DISHONEST, PRETENTIOUS, ARROGANT, SELF-RIGHTEOUS, NARCISSISTIC, EGO-CENTRIC, UNILATERAL, etc. It is not a simple matter for immature-people to understand and helpfully respond to the EVIL- RELATIONSHIPS which often exist between domineering people and TRUE-LOVERS. The following need to be considered in such situations: 1. Domineering people covet: honor, respect, support, power, influence, dominance, wealth, security, and invulnerability --- and are willing to sacrifice both personal-and-communal integrations-and-integrities to get what they covet. 2. TRUE-LOVERS work to facilitate and promote both personal-and-communal integtrities-and-integrations --- and so work to minimize the sacrifice of both personal- and-communal integrations-and-integrities: thus subverting the disintegrative efforts of domineering people. 3. Domineering people attempt to present themselves as WORTHY-OF: honor, respect, support, power, influence, dominance, wealth, security, and invulnerability --- in spite of their being willing to sacrifice both personal- and-communal integrations-and-integrities --- and so domineering people are also willing to sacrifice TRUE- LOVERS who expose the domineering-people's: dishonesty, deception, arrogance, self-righteousness, alienation, excommunications, violence, incoherence, contentiousness, unilateral-efforts, coercion, and in-fighting among themselves. 4. TRUE-LOVERS' efforts are all experienced by domineering-people as threats to all of the efforts of domineering-people --- to get what they what to get unilaterally. 5. Domineering-people label as EVIL all that stands in the way of their getting what they want to get unilaterally; e.g., True-Lovers' RESPECT-FOR-VIRTUES like: honesty, balance, mutuality, truth, love, gentleness, grace, civility, hospitality, reconciliation, healing, true-conflict-resolution, and peacemakers' RESISTENCE-WHICH-IS-NOT-VIOLENT. 6. True-Lovers are inspired by the insights and exemplary-actions of people like: Jesus of Nazareth, Gahndi, M. L. King, Nelson Mandella, and other leaders of integrative NON-VIOLENT-RESISTANCE-MOVEMENTS which have helped most of the crew of Space-Ship-Earth to experience significant and meaningful degrees of liberation from fallen "Powers-That-Be" as described by Walter Wink in his revealing book with that name. 7. Institutions such as Jewish Temples, Christian Churches and Muslim Mosques which are dominated by domineering leaders are unable to deal openly and honestly with True-Lovers who are involved in non- conformal integrative sexual-relationships --- because the dominant leaders have ultimate concerns which focus upon them getting what they want (as indicated above) at the expense of both personal-and-communal integrities- and-integrations. Reconsider the observations made above in the light of this seventh observation --- and consider the tragic consequences of the Gordian Knots which are present within such institutions. 8. Ideal-forms and conformity do not play central roles in the lives of True-Lovers, but are often the focus of attention of domineering people who use and abuse both ideal-forms and conformity --- as tools in their efforts to dominate and control people who are vulnerable. 9. Domineering people take advantage of other's points of vulnerability, patterns of distributive injustice, and their own good fortunes --- to concentrate more power, wealth and advantages into their own hands at other people's expense. 10. Copying domineering people's attitudes, assumptions, and behavior patterns --- in efforts to overcome them --- always fails to overcome them and their prisons. True-Lovers free themselves from domineering people's attitudes, assumptions, and behavior patterns --- and then lead others into new and integrative patternsof liberation and integrity.
