 %NOT ACCEPTED AS WE REALLY ARE DECEPTION DISHONEST+961124

     When   we  know nobody who accepts us  as  we  really
are,  we  find it exceedingly difficult to be honest  with
other people.

     When  others  know  nobody who accepts them  as  they
really  are,   they  find it exceedingly difficult  to  be
honest with us.

     If we are to promote honesty,  personal integrity and
communal  integrity---we need to learn how to accept  each
person as they really are.

     To  accept  somebody  as they really are  is  not  to
approve  of  all that they have done or may yet  do.    To
accept somebody  as they really are is to accept them into
open and honest dialogue about their experiences, beliefs,
convictions,  hopes, fears, aspirations and needs.    Such
acceptance   is   essential  to  personal   and   communal
integrity.       Refusing   such  acceptance   leads    to
personal and communal disintegration.
