                                 %WALLS TO INTIMACY 760915

     Building  walls  to  intimacy says that  intimacy  is
dangerous, and to be avoided.   The resultant reduction in
intimacy   increases  fear  and  timidity,   and  so   the
inclination  to stay far away from the walls to  intimacy.
The  walls  become feared and regarded as  dangerous---and
walls  are built to protect the naive against  approaching
the  dangerous walls.   In this way a series of walls  are
constructed via a feed-back loop which promotes increasing
estrangement  in a context of concern for propriety.    At
each step,  intimacy is made to appear more dangerous, and
being  "cool"   more acceptable and proper.    People  are
accepted  conditionally seek intimacy or approach the wall
protecting  people  against  intimacy.   Such  conditional
acceptance promotes extremism,  including the extremism of
staying far away from the walls to intimacy.  This in turn
promotes rebellion, violence, and walls to protect against
violence.    In  the end war breaks down the  walls,   and
intimacy is restored in violent forms  which  disintegrate
the perverse order  of things.   Only sacrificial love can
break  down  the walls to intimacy,  and so make  gracious
walls against violence.   This is a miracle which does not
make  sense  to the people who build  most  walls  against
intimacy.
