No one person can determine the total outcome. No one person can make all the difference. Each contribution is limited in scope, yet is real. To pretend otherwise leads to unhealthy consequences for all. Each person is of limited size, duration, power and wisdom. Anyone who tries to maximize the difference they can make through the practice of personally coercive techniques and technologies, thereby elicits defensive measures on the part of others seeking to minimize the coercive effects; and as a result addictive behaviors spread, yet are eventually limited by the tragically self-destructive patterns of behavior. Coercion and violence are eventually self limiting, through their own self-destruction. People may maximize their healthy contributions to the health of life on our planet by contributing to the healing of the spirit of all who live here; by themselves being healthy in spirit, expression and deed. The healthy spirit spreads from person to person by eliciting open and honest sharing of healthy insights which prompt both personal and communal integrity. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
