                                     %FEAR OF UNION 851112

     Fear  of union is occasioned by uncertainty about and
fear  regarding any loss of security which self has  known
and become familiar with.

     Even  the  terrible known is less fearsome  than  the
unknown.    Thus even the union which is  desired  entails
apprehension of sorts.

     Jack may fear that in union with Jill he may lose his
defensive  security,  his macho.   Thus he may  hold  back
giving   himself   to  union  and  instead   express   his
ambivalence and frustration over it in coercive ways which
are alienative rather than integrative.

     Jill  may fear that union with Jack will deprive  her
of  the security she has come to know in her new  freedom,
and  so  express he ambivalence and diffidence in  evasive
maneuvers which avoid genuine union.

     Nations may fear union with traditional enemy nations
because  of  uncertainty  and fear regarding any  loss  of
security which the nation may have felt it had due to  its
defensive posturing.

     Even the horrors of nuclear war are less fearsome  to
many than the unknown of becoming familiar with members of
the enemy nation.   Thus even international peace which is
desired entails apprehension of sorts.

     Too  much  has been said about members of  the  enemy
nation  being  the incarnation of evil for each to  regard
becoming familiar with the other with equanimity.  In fact
judging  the other as the incarnation of evil is  the root
of the alienation which is the essence of evil.

     Integration   is   the  essence  of   community   and
integrity.   When integrity is feared there is a  tendency
for  the community to disintegrate through alienation  and
the  disintegration  of dialogue which promotes unity  and
cooperation.
