We cannot manage/control them through: requirements, prohibitions, prescriptions, proscriptions, commandments, laws, formulas, and conformations. True pleasures, integrity, health and fulfillment come to us as we search for integrity and honesty in cooperative efforts to be whole and healthy. They are not found and/or owned at a destination upon arrival; but cooperatively in the various byways of our pilgrims' progress---together in the open and honest dialogues of our unique journeys. We find our fulfillments in seeking to help others find their own fulfillments in their own unique ways. We are different and find our fulfillments in ways appropriate to the ways in which we are different. No one way fits all of us---even though there are some similarities in the ways in which we find our fulfillments. It is useful to recognize, name, describe and talk about the similarities. It is not useful or helpful to prescribe in what way people must find their fulfillment. The more dependent we are upon sophisticated techniques, technologies and fixes in our efforts to grasp, hold, clutch, grab, steal or otherwise get pleasures, satisfaction or meaning---the more vulnerable we make ourselves to others who are behaving in a similar manner.
