                                  %LIMITS TO RESCUE 850608

     The world is full of people in need or rescue,  and a
limited  number of people with power to rescue.   To  what
extent  are the people with power under an  obligation  to
rescue  those in need of rescue.   By what principles  can
one wisely recognize appropriate limits,  or are there  no
limits to the range of such responsibility.

     Does  the responsibility to rescue people  extend  to
the  extent that there is no time to work on avoiding  the
increase in the future of the need for more rescues?  Must
the  people now in need of rescue be rescued at the  price
of not preventing the need of future increased for rescue?
Should  watchers learn that they need give no thought  for
tomorrow  because those people in power will come to their
rescue regardless of their foolish steps which let to  the
need  for  rescue?   Shall people learn  that  foolishness
leads to rescue?  How may such foolishness be averted?

     To  be indifferent to people in trouble will  not  be
wise.   To direct all of everyone's attention to people in
trouble  will not be wise.   Wisdom resides in seeking  to
work  for  the  fulfillment  of  human  potentials  within
balanced  and integrative communities.   Meaning does  not
reside  in human survival or comfort,  but in  significant
coping  with  situations  so  as  to  promote   integrity,
dialogue  and balance.   The ultimate evil is not death or
pain,  but being indifferent to alienation,   estrangement
and  rejection;   being indifferent to  disintegration  of
community.

     The  kind of rescue which is most significant is  the
rescue  from  alienation,   estrangement  and   rejection;
reconciliation,  redemption reunion.   Such work is always
meaningful and leads to the reduction in the need for such
work in the future.   Such rescue does not teach people to
do foolish things in order to be rescued again.
