%PATERNAL CHILD TEACH PROFESSOR RESTRICT LIMIT HELP 891113

     The   paternalist  seeks  to help others  by  keeping
them out of trouble through restrictions.  The paternalist
believes  that  people  get into trouble  when  they  have
excessive  freedom  and excessive alternatives  to  choose
from. The paternalists' cure is to reduce alternatives and
freedom.

     The  liberator  seeks to help others by leading  them
to recognize a wide range of healthy alternatives,  and to
recognize the consequences of choices which have been made
and/or might be made.  The liberator believes that  people
get  into  trouble when they are frustrated by having  too
few  healthy alternatives to choose from.  The liberators'
cure is to increase alternatives and freedom to choose.

     The   paternalist seeks to increase  low self  esteem
through  trying to be in control of the behavior of,   and
assure the success of,  people who are regarded with  less
esteem than themselves.

     The  liberator  seeks to increase the self esteem  of
others  through encouraging them to make informed  choices
appropriate  to  themselves,  from among a wide  range  of
alternatives which they might not have been aware of.

     The paternalist encourages people to accept the fixes
which the paternalist presents as right for them.

     The liberator encourages people to  experiment and to
change their attitudes, friends, habits of heart and mind,
and  spiritual processes so that they may find  their  own
way to live healthy lives for themselves;  so becoming the
kinds  of  people who have the wisdom and  power  to  help
liberate others in like manner.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
