      %FEAR RISK ALIENATION REJECTION VULNERABILITY 910218

     In  a  dysfunctional  family,   community,    school,
college, university,   society,  nation and world there is
fear  of risk, mistakes, rejection and alienation.

     In a truly loving family, community, school, college,
university,   society,   nation and world there  would  be
little  if  any fear of risk,   mistakes,   rejection  and
alienation.

     What is feared is a sign of the character of a  human
communal  unit;   a  sign of the degree of its  unity  and
integrity.    Fears  of risks,  mistakes,   rejection  and
alienation  are signs of unhealthy assumptions,   beliefs,
questions, attitudes, values, ideals, goals, perspectives,
relationships, etc.  Such fears are deliberately minimized
within    healthy   human   communal   units   which   are
characterized by personal and communal integrity.  Healthy
people    recognize   such   fears   to   be    unhealthy,
dysfunctional,     disintegrative,     counter-productive,
useless,   etc.   Unhealthy people fear to have their dis-
eases exposed to honest consideration.

     Healthy communities accept into dialogue  people  who
are  truly honest about themselves as unique creatures  in
the  absence of conformity to expectations,   requirements
and   demands.    Conformity  often  demands  secrecy  and
dishonesty  which  undermines both personal  and  communal
integrity;  for conformity often requires dishonesty about
the unique aspects of each person.
