It is often easy to ignore what is important --- because we are preoccupied with what is dominant in exclusive ways; i.e., that which is important may be that which is excluded and pushed out of consciousness by exclusive considerations and authorities. That which is affirmed in exclusive ways may be equally important to that which is excluded; or that which is is affirmed in exclusive ways may be of some other level/manner of importance relative to what is affirmed in exclusive ways. The tragedy is that often what is excluded is of great importance to maintaining balance, health, openness, and significant levels of meaningful dialogue. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
