      To the extent that enemies protect  themselves  from
each  other in terms of coping strategies suggested below,
to   that   extent  they  alienate  themselves  from  each
other, and so accentuate their mutual animosity:

     Use    of   the   above   strategies   makes   mutual
understanding   and   cooperation  impossible,    and   so
undermines  the  possibilities  of together  enjoying  the
fruits of mutual understanding and cooperative efforts.   
                                                          
     Use    of    the   above  strategies   makes    truly
reciprocal loving of each  other impossible ---    and  so
makes  it impossible to obey the two greatest commandments
of Love, and impossible to enjoy the fruits of Love.      
                                                          
     The    above   statements   DESCRIBE   the    natural
consequences   of  our choosing  to  advance ourselves ---
to the  exclusion  of others and/or at the cost of others.
The   above   statements do  not  urge  that   we   impose
consequences  upon any power/person which transcends   our
own  choosing to advance  ourselves to  the exclusion   of
others and/or at the cost of  others.      This  is    not
about     non-conformity    and    externally      imposed
punishments   for  non-conformity.   This  is   about  the
natural consequences of our own decisions and actions.    
                                                          
     The  above describes the natural consequences of  our
choosing mutually exclusive coping strategies, rather than
choosing    mutually   inclusive   ways   which  lead   to
mutual  understanding   and  cooperation.      Exclusivity
entails: excluding complementary people  whom  we  do  not
know or trust;  excluding  complementary ideals and values
which  we do  not  trust;    and excluding   complementary
groups  and  communities  which  we   do   not   know   or
trust.   Such  exclusivity  leads us naturally into  evil-
relationships and disintegration.                         
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
