    %EVIL DISEASE QUARANTINE EXCOMMUNICATE RELATION+921106
  %CLARIFY SHARE POWER TRUST VULNERABLE RISK SECURE 921106

     Healthy  interpersonal  human  relationships  involve
the  clarification of and the sharing of:   power,  trust,
risk, vulnerability and security.

     If power is   not clearly shared,   the less powerful
people are  not likely to trust the more powerful  people.
Out   of fear of  perceived risks and vulnerability it  is
unlikely that there will be any true sense of security  on
the party of anybody.

     If    trust    is     not    rooted     in    clearly
articulated understandings of  the  foundations  for  true
trust,  then participants in  interpersonal  relationships
are  unlikely  to  give  to each  other  true   gifts   of
security within the context of risky vulnerability.

     If  risks  are  not   shared   in   just  and clearly
articulated ways, the people who find themselves forced to
accept   the greater  proportion of  risks---are  unlikely
to  trust  the more powerful people  who  manipulate  them
into  taking  the  greater   risks  and   so   being  more
vulnerable   and   less  secure.   In responses  the  less
powerful  people are likely to   be   defensive   and   so
generate   insecurity   and defensiveness  on  the part of
the  more  powerful  people.  Defensive manipulations  are
likely to grow exponentially.

     If    healthy   vulnerability   is   not   shared  in
clearly  articulated   ways,    the  people  who  are  not
sharing  vulnerability  are  unlikely  to  understand  the
relationships among:    gifts of true security,    healthy
vulnerability, healthy  trust,   prudent  risks,  personal
integrity  and communal integrity.

     It   is   important   that   we   work   toward   the
clarification  of and the sharing of:  power, trust, risk,
vulnerability and security.    Failing  to  do so can lead
to  personal  and communal disintegration.
