     The existence of diversity is a fact of life.        
                                                          
     The  existence  of  diversity  among  humans  can  be
avoided only through the playing of collusive  (dishonest)
games of mutual self deception.                           
                                                          
     People  who  pretend  that  they  can  ignore   human
diversity   with  integrity,   are  most  likely   playing
collusive games of mutual self deception;  i.e.,  they are
lacking in both personal and communal integrity.  They are
likely to be involved in the following kinds of behaviors:
                                                          
     1.  Making  various  forms of  conformity  mandatory;
i.e., pretending to be different from what they really are
---   being different in a required way,  rather  than  in
an authentic way.                                         
                                                          
     2.  Making use of coercion and/or violence to enforce
conformity and/or tacit rules of collusive games of mutual
self deception.                                           
                                                          
     3.  Engaging in contentious relationships with people
who  are  "improperly  different"   ---   in  ways   which
domineering people say should NOT be permitted.           
                                                          
     4.  Stifling  creativity  in  responding to  new  and
different  situations  ---  responding  in ways which  are
appropriate  to how they as persons are "different";   but
in  ways  which domineering people say (or imply)   should
NOT be permitted.                                         
                                                          
     5.  Requiring   symbolic  actions  of  obedience   in
response  to  arbitrary,   prejudicial  and/or  capricious
demands  --- demands which are not related to meeting  the
real  needs  of people who lack the basic  essentials  for
healthy living.                                           
                                                          
     The  significance,  meaning and consequences  of  any
human   action/communication  depends  upon  all  of   the
following, and perhaps more, considerations:              
                                                          
     1.  Their overt objective aspects;                   
                                                          
     2.  Their tacitly understood subjective aspects;     
                                                          
     3.  Their communal, cultural, religious, business and
         political aspects;                               
                                                          
     4.  The principalities,  powers, spirits,  and angels
         which guide/motivate them;                       
                                                          
     5.  Whatever  addictive,  codependent  and  collusive
         aspects may be involved;                         
                                                          
     6.  Whatever  objective consequences  flow  naturally
         from them;                                       
                                                          
     7.  Whatever  symbolic  meaning  diverse  people  may
         assign to them;                                  
                                                          
     8.  The mythic/cosmic contexts within which diverse  
         people perceive them;                            
                                                          
     9.  The  contentious  conflicts  which  the   actions
         and/or   communications  are  seen  as   embedded
         within.                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
