      %RESPONSIBLE TO FOR OTHERS HEAVEN HELL DIFFER 940115

     The difference  between being  responsible  TO  other
people  compared to being responsible FOR other people can
be the difference between heaven and hell.

     If we assume that we are RESPONSIBLE TO other  people
in  the sense of being RESPONSIVE TO other  people  openly
and      honestly  in  friendly  conversation,    writing,
dialogue,    and     cooperation ---  then we and they are
in  a   situation   in  which  we   and   they  can  enjoy
personal and  communal integrity together.   We can  enjoy
heaven on earth.

     If we assume that we are RESPONSIBLE FOR other people
in  the  sense  of being in CONTROL OF their:   behaviors,
failures,  flaws,   assumptions,  perceptions,    beliefs,
convictions,    emotions,   thinking,   desires,    fears,
intentions and plans---then we and they are in a situation
in  which  we and they are bound to engaged  in  collusive
games of mutual  self deception,  addictive organizations,
and codependent support thereof.    We will suffer hell on
earth.
