Some people have believed that there can be only one "right" path, and that all people should follow the one "right" path. They have often tried to force all people to follow their one "right" path; because they have feared being alone in the path. They have insisted on having many people affirm their choice of which path to follow to manage their fears and sexuality. Other people have not been so dominated by fears, and have been willing to be creative in friendly small groups of people --- who have chosen to be together in cooperative ventures which they have discovered do promote both personal and communal integrity and pleasure. They recognize that there are many creative ways to manage both fears and sexuality --- without trying to control, coerce, or micro-manage the details of other people's lives. Creative people find many diverse ways/paths to be together in cooperative work, recreation, dialogue, play, and love. In Love they cast out fears which undermine creativity, personal integrity and communal integrity. They realize that some fears are prudent/wise. Other fears lead to repressions of creative healthy instincts, and so to personal and communal disintegration. We need to be-aware-of, name, describe, talk-about, understand, beware-of and subvert FEARS which lead us into paths/ways which entail: IMBALANCE EXTREMISM EXCLUSIVITY REJECTIONS EXCOMMUNICATIONS BANISHMENTS LEGALISMS JUDGEMENTALISM CONDEMNATIONS ARROGANCE SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS PRETENTIOUSNESS DISHONESTY DECEPTION DENIALS ADDICTIONS CODEPENDENCE COLLUSIONS DISINTEGRATION FRAGMENTATION DESTRUCTION COERCION VIOLENCE REVENGE ANGER RESENTMENT GRUDGES IGNORANCE REFUSALS PREJUDICE ISOLATION REPRESSION DEPRESSION SUPPRESSION CONCEALMENT SECRECY CAMOUFLAGE MISREPRESENTATION BLINDNESS DEAFNESS INSENSITIVITY INJUSTICE ANXIETY INSECURITY INSTABILITY There are many healthy paths which lead to personal and communal integrity, enjoyment, and fulfillment; but the paths are not taken by people who are dominated by fears which lead to the above tragic aspects of incoherent living.
