     We  yearn  for  healthy  simplicity  and  are   often
confronted  with  unhealthy  complexity.   If  we  pretend
complex unhealthy contexts are simple and/or healthy ---we
are in deep trouble!                                      
                                                          
     In a simple situation the "players"  in the drama  of
our life might include:  self, partner, parent(s), family,
tribe, religious community, and governmental entities.    
                                                          
     Each  "player"   may  be in  some  degree:   healthy,
helpful,   understanding,   integrative;   or   unhealthy,
collusive, addictive, dishonest, arrogant, self-righteous,
and/or domineering.                                       
                                                          
     "Advice"   to self and other about how to respond  to
whatever  combination  of circumstances is present ---  is
not easy to give with integrity, grace and sensitivity. At
the  best  we are confronted with circumstances  which are
far  more complex and ambiguous than most leaders care  to
admit.     Few  general  rules  or  commandments  can   be
articulated   which  fit  with  integrity,    grace    and
sensitivity in all circumstances.   Matters are made worse
when we and/or other pretend otherwise.    Yet people  may
object if we do not pretend otherwise.  That makes matters
worse.

                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
