     In some situations and contexts, people are prudently
certain  and  confident that they are free  to  be  safely
vulnerable in being themselves in open and honest intimate
relationships.     Their  certainty and confidence do  not
engender alienative relationships.

     In  other situations and contexts,  there are certain
people  who are imprudently over-confident that  they  are
free  and/or  duty-bound  to  coerce  others  to   conform
themselves to certain:  assumptions,  attitudes,  beliefs,
doctrinal  confessions,  rituals,  life styles,  reflexive
response patterns,  personal association patterns;  and so
they engender the repression of perceptions,  insights and
understandings.    Their certainty ---  and  un-assailable
self-confidence---does engender alienative relationships.

     Some  forms of certainty ARE NOT alienative.    Other
forms  of  certainty ARE alienative.    We  cannot,   with
confidence,  be well and do well if we cannot discern  the
difference  between  the two kinds of certainty  ---   and
behave  accordingly  with love,  humility and  sympathetic
understanding.
