                               %ANXIETY VS SECURITY 861103

     Secure  people  tend  not  to  live lives of anxiety.
Anxious  people tend not to enjoy security.   Security  is
often  thought  of  as an objective  reality.  We  usually
regard anxiety as an emotional reality.

     Human behaviors are often chosen to confirm emotional
realities.  Anxious people  through fear  choose defensive
behaviors  which  confirm their  insecurity  by  eliciting
fearful behavior on the part of others. Victims choose not
to take charge of their lives, letting patterns which they
could control oppress them to confirm their  condition  as
victim.    Helpless  people  choose  to play the  role  of
helpless  people  to draw helpful behavior  from  powerful
people   who  stand  ready  to  be  charitable,   but  not
empowering.    Such  emotion  confirming  choices  do  not
promote  personal  and  communal integrity.    It  is  not
helpful  to  make  choices to confirm  negative  emotional
states.  Proving yourself to be correct regarding negative
emotional states is not integrative behavior.
