perspectives.                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                               
     1.  "Lawyers" who place their ultimate confidence and                                                                     
concern in the articulation of and honoring of Law --- see                               
anyone  who  "hits bottom"  and lets go of Law's  ultimate               
concerns --- as traitors to the worship of Law, as being                               
untrustworthy,   and  so  as not  worthy  of  inclusion in                                                                     
communities of open and honest dialogue.   Yielding to the                                                                
promptings of Love is unthinkable.  Such yielding must not                                           
be acknowledged,  articulated,  talked about,   respected,                                      
honored,   or tolerated;  for such yielding undermines all                                                    
hopes for control, order and dominance --- over the forces                                                     
of evil.                                       
                                                                                                                               
     2.  "Lovers" who  place their ultimate confidence and                                           
interest in the modeling the graceful ways of Love --- see      
anyone  who "hits bottom"  and lets go of  Love's ultimate               
concerns ---  as falling out of Grace and being  alienated                               
from God and their neighbors.    Such yielding needs to be                 
acknowledged,   articulated,   talked  about,  recognized,                                                                     
described,  and forgiven;   for such yielding is often the                                                                     
consequence   of  honest  efforts  to  enjoy  balance  and                                                                  
mutuality   in   healthy/integrative   relationships   and                            
communities.

                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
