     Human perceptions, attitudes, thoughts, decisions and
actions  form  patterns of responses which echo  back  and
forth   among   participants  without   any   identifiable
beginning or ending.   It may be helpful to formulate some
patterns of words by which to clearly point to some of the
aspects  of  the  warp  and woof  of  the  fabric  of  our
responses.

     Not  all  human  behavior  is in  clear  response  to
previous  human behaviors;  yet some human behavior is  in
clear  response to previous human behaviors.   It will  be
helpful to  refer  to  the  latter behavior as "response"-
"response"  behavior wherein the first word "response" may
be replaced by a  word  which  suggests the nature  of the
previous behavior to which the second word points.

     A  "manipulation-response"   is a response  of  one
person to another person's efforts to manipulate them.

     A "kindness-response" is a response of some person to
another person's kindness.

     A "robbery-response"  is a person's response  another
person's act of robbery.

     A  "rape-response"   is the response of a  person  to
being raped or a loved-one's being raped.

     An "rejection-response"  is the response of a  person
t0 being rejected by another person or group.

     An "acceptance-response"  is the response of a person
to being accepted by another person or group.

     The  significance  and  meaning  of  a  human  action
depends  upon whether it  is a response-response and  upon
what kind of response it is; if it is a response-response.
The relational  context of our actions are very  important
in  any  effort to understand human actions;  and  in  any
efforts  to respond wisely to human actions and  response-
responses.

     A  prediction-response  is  a  response  to  a  human
prediction.

     An  expectation-response  is  a  response  to   human
expectations.

     A demand-response is a response to human demands.

     A  punishment-response   is  a  response  to a  human
punishment.

     An  alienation-response is a response to an  occasion
of human alienation.

     We  will do well to be careful to participate in  the
pattern  of  human  responses with  due awareness  of  and
respect  for the contexts of other people's responses  and
of our own  responses.   If we do not do so,  our communal
fabrics are  not  likely to be coherent, and  we  are  not
likely to enjoy personal and communal integrity.

                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
