%ACCEPT HONEST DIALOGUE REJECT CONFRONT AVOID TRUTH 900528

     "To accept" is to be in honest dialogue with, to deal
with honestly, to relate to truthfully.

     "To reject" is to avoid honest dialogue with, to deal
with dishonestly, to relate to in misleading ways.

     "To resign yourself" to is not the process of  honest
acceptance.   When we accept we do not necessarily  resign
ourself  to that which is accepted as beyond  the power of
transformation.

     "To be honest" about is not the process of rejection.
When  we  are honest about a fool,  we do not  necessarily
reject the fool and exclude the fool from open and  honest
dialogue.

     "To honestly  confront"  is a process of  being-true-
to. Being-true-to is a process of honest confrontation. To
confront  a fool is to be-true-to the fool who is  seeking
to avoid the truth, and who is repeatedly making the  same
mistake  over and over because the fool cannot learn  from
the truth  of  the consequences of mistaken choices.
