It is particularly important that essential experiences not be excluded from daily life; e.g., because some exclusive kind of experience is regarded as so important as to merit the exclusion of other kinds of experiences. Exclusivity is dangerous because it is often disintegrative in its consequences. The importance of one kind of essential experience cannot be judged upon the exclusive basis of another complimentary kind of experience. Success in regard to one kind of experience is no proof that the person who is successful in dealing with one kind of experience is wise as regard other kinds of experiences and able to deal with them wisely.
