     We humans differ as to what realms of awareness,     
       realities, patterns and relationships are for us:  
         primary, central, important, priorities;         
           comfortable, acceptable,tolerable;             
             respectable, discussable, desirable;         
               pleasurable, gratifying, good;             
                 painful, embarrassing, evil;             
                   acknowledgeable, knowable, permitted.  
                                                          
     We human differ as to which modalities of awareness  
       we: are-sensitive/indifferent-to, talk-about,      
         write-about, argue-over, contend-about,          
           are pleased-by, repress, suppress, ignore, etc:
                                                          
        and which of the following we focus upon or avoid:
                                                          
             sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touching,    
               images, music, dance; affection, sex,      
                 intimacy, songs, ballet, romance,        
                   pleasure, pain, disappointment,        
                     management, repression, controls,    
                       ideas, ideals, values, demands,    
                         goals, achievements, money,      
                           finances, business, sales,     
                             purchases, ownership,        
                               possessions, territory.    
                                                          
     Some realms of realities and modalities of awareness 
       which are central in some people's lives --- are   
         virtually absent from other people's lives,      
           because of: insensitivity, indifference,       
             blindness, deafness, repressions,            
               suppressions, fears, anxieties,            
                 embarrassments, distractions,            
                   lost opportunities, wars,              
                     conflicts, controllers,              
                       dictators, militarists,            
                         addictions, collusions,          
                           codependent-supporters,        
                             arrogance, violence,         
                               disease, hunger,           
                                 thirst, want,            
                                   poverty, lack,         
                                     absences,            
                                       destruction,       
                                         ignorance,       
                                           prejudice.     
                                                          
     In the darkness of the above, different people often 
       find it impossible to imagine cooperation, and     
         so find it impossible to actually cooperate      
           with strangers who are "different" in          
             threatening ways which cannot be             
               understood, transcended or subverted.      
                                                          
     People differ as to what: concepts, words, ideas,    
       and modes of coping are worthy of respect, honor,  
         support, tolerance --- when they find themselves 
           in conflict with each other in one way or      
             another; on one stage/realm or another.      
                                                          
     People are prone to stay-off-of stages and/or out-of 
       places where they are uncomfortable &/or fearful;  
         and so become unable to function well within     
           such contexts --- and so lose integrity within 
             such contexts.  They do not survive well as  
               healthy people within such contexts.       
                 Others become victims of such failures;  
                   and the tragedies recycle over and     
                     over until some people MANAGE        
                       TOGETHER TO COOPERATE in           
                         transcending/subverting          
                           their tragic events,           
                             contexts and                 
                               relationships.             
                                                          
     There are more ways of being different than most     
       people can imagine.  Thus, most people do not know 
         how to deal with most ways of being different;   
           and are ill-at-east, dis-eased, and embarrassed
             by confrontations with "different" people,   
               ideas, ideals, values, visions, desires,   
                 dreams and pleasures.   They are prone   
                   to become trapped in conflicts which   
                     are dominated by coercion/violence.  
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
