In such a context any failures to do the little things which involve little risk and which would tend to promote reconciliation and trust, will be failures with great significance to the participants in the alienation. Such failures to take little risks are most likely to be taken to mean that there is a lack of interest in reconciliation, that the persons failing to take such little risks regard their offensive behavior as justifiable, that they are still on the offensive and defensive, and are fearful of even a little bit of vulnerability. In situations in which trust has been destroyed by offensive behavior it is not enough to refrain from further like offensive behavior. Reconciliation will not occur unless participants in the alienation go beyond refraining from being offensive, and move to taking prudent little steps towards reconciliation which involve prudent small risks. If others involved in the alienation do not take unfair advantage of the personal vulnerability of such small risk takers, then larger personal risks may prudently be taken and bigger personal steps taken towards reconciliation. This can be an escalating process, just as well as disintegration can be an escalating process. It must be started with deliberate steps which do involve some small risks prudently taken.
