     %HEALTHY PRIVACY FREEDOM VULNERABLE HARASSMENT 940526

    Healthy   privacy  offers  freedom   from   unwelcomed
intrusions and harassment.   Sometimes we want to be alone
or with only those nearest and dearest to us---rather than
in the public eye  and subjected to  unwelcomed criticism.
In  those times we want and need privacy as a support  for
security known as the freedom to be safely vulnerable.  It
is safer to be vulnerable in private than in public.

    Manipulative people  often  try  to  manipulate  us to
satisfy themselves by forcing  upon  us  isolation  in the
form of alienation---under the guise of giving us privacy.
Unwelcomed "privacy" is not true privacy.

    True privacy does not involve alienation or isolation.
True  privacy respects our  desire  if our desire is to be
alone by ourselves  or with only those nearest and dearest
to  us.    True  privacy also respects our desire,  if our
desire calls us to be involved in open and honest dialogue
about what matters to  us  most.   True  privacy  does not
require  alienation  or  isolation  in  violation  of  our
desires.   True privacy is not manipulative, and is not  a
"gift" which is used as part of a manipulative procedure.
