Other people seek to discern how best to fulfill their spectrums of abilities, talents and gifts --- in ways which will enable them and others to be true to themselves and each other in open and honest dialogue about all of their significant experiences. Yet other people seek fulfillment in managing the appearances and behaviors of those whom they regard as "off track". They often encourage people to appear to be other than what they really are --- to play collusive games of mutual self deception in dishonest ways which spread through communities as contagious diseases which undermine both personal and communal integrity. We will do well and be well when most members of most communities are dedicated to transcending dichotomous words, classification systems, and behavior patterns. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
