When people meet each other they may, and they may
not, become aware of a spectrum of relational
possibilities. What they become aware of depends upon
many factors:
1. Their respective heredities, heritages, cultures,
languages, experiences, fears, hopes, aspirations, etc.
2. How free they are to become involved in new
additional relationships --- considering how much they are
already involved in relationships which make demands on
their times and energies.
3. How exclusive the other participants in their
current relationships are; e.g., possessive, limiting,
controlling, constraining --- or liberating, generous, and
supportive.
4. How willing the people in meetings are to
be changed by any new additional relationships; versus
how intent they may be to be in control of any new
additional relationship.
5. How secure the people are --- in the sense of
being free to be safely vulnerable in being true to
themselves and each other --- exploring new relational
possibilities.
Often when people "meet" they are not truly free to
meet each other, and they fear each other so much that
the relationships which do develop between them are
dominated by fear, anxiety, apprehension, prejudice,
confusion, distrust, and defensive preparations. They
are not free to choose more creative, integrative and
friendly kinds of relationships. They are not free
to participate in conflict resolution, reconciliation,
or peacemaking.
