Confessions, revelations, exposure and accurate descriptions are essential to health and survival. Repressive secrecy, hidden dishonesty, collusive manipulations and their like are unhealthy; and we cannot survive for long with them. Eventually some light is essential; painful as it may be. To be healthy, revelations need to be charitable in fail-safe contexts where security has been given in love. Coercive exposures are not helpful. Manipulative honesty can be violent. Violations of privacy are rarely helpful. Confessions of manipulative guilt and shame are often unhealthy in the absence of recognition of the manipulations which engendered the manipulative guilt and shame. Coercive conformity to conventional truths is usually not honest. When masks are violently ripped off people are hurt, not healed. Truth is better nurtured through gifts of security freely given, than through lectures, regulations, and self-righteous pronouncements calling for confessions of non-conformity. People who have proudly eaten of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil are rarely able to promote reconciliation, conflict resolution, honesty or peace. People rarely are open and honest with such self- righteous preachers of the importance of honesty about non-conformity. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
