The focus is upon appearances---rather than upon honest descriptions of experiences, realities and human relationships. Often we are taught to be embarrassed within situations which are not of necessity embarrassing. Often we are taught to avoid, and regard with fear: possibilities, events, people, situations, contexts, thoughts, ideas, feelings and relationships---which are not necessarily dangerous. Often people rationalize their own fears of: possibilities, events, people, situations, contexts, thoughts, ideas, feelings and relationships---which are not necessarily dangerous. They pass on both their fears and their rationalizations; perhaps transforming their rationalizations into holy doctrine and dogma which people are required to recite and appear to respect. The emphasis is upon recitations and appearances---not upon honest descriptions of experiences, realities and human relationships. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
