    %LANGUAGE WORDS VOCABULARY CONCEPTS TALK SILENT+931028
  %ARTICULATE CLEAR CONFUSION ADDICT COLLUSION BIND 931028

     It   is  not  helpful  always  to  be  silent   about
experiences which  are  important  and  meaningful  to  us
privately.  Silence  may  be occasioned by repression  and
threats  of  repression   within  communities  which   are
involved  in  addictions,   and  codependent  support   of
addictions and  so  are involved  in  collusive  games  of
mutual self deception.   Silence may also be occasioned by
no one ever having created an adequate vocabulary and  set
of concepts in terms of which to articulate perceptions of
the  experiences  which never get talked or written about.
It is not  always  easy  to distinguish  the  two kinds of
occasions  and in some instances it may be  impossible  to
discern whether or not the lack of language is itself  due
to repression and/or threats of the repression of possible
articulations regarding personal experiences.

     There are many experiences which if they were  talked
about  would undermine the apparent integrity of collusive
games of mutual self deception.   The participants in such
collusive  games  are  bound by loyalty to each  other  to
repress  even  the development of a language  adequate  to
facilitate  the  articulation of the experiences  which if
articulated would undermine the dominate games  of  mutual
self deception.

     It  is  thus  important  to  work  quietly  upon  the
development   of  languages  which  will  facilitate   the
articulation  of  experiences which have so  far  remained
private and unarticulated.  Through clear articulations we
may  learn  more than we would otherwise  learn  from  our
experiences---whether  they  be  positive or  negative  in
character.    It  is  unreasonable for any  people  to  be
opposed   to  the  promotion  of  learning  more  than  is
traditionally  learned  from both  positive  and  negative
experiences.    The irrationality of such opposition needs
to be clearly articulated to undermine its power.
