     Can isolated INDIVIDUALS achieve egocentric security;
      i.e., while alienated from their communities?       
                                                          
     Isolated individuals have rarely survived for long.  
      Even more  rarely have isolated humans survived with
       any true (honest) sense of security and pleasure.  
                                                          
     For humans, security has to do with experiencing     
      the joys/pleasures of being safely vulnerable       
       within a true community which sustains a sanctuary 
        where true (honest) vulnerability is experienced  
         within intimate relationships which endure       
          as contexts for security, joy and pleasure.     
                                                          
     Can isolated COMMUNITIES achieve egocentric security;
      i.e., while alienated from other communities within 
       their interdependent environments; e.g., within    
        Planet Earth?                                     
                                                          
     Alienation, estrangement and isolation undermine the 
      possibilities of trust, honesty and cooperation;    
       and thus make the enjoyment of true (honest)       
        security difficult, if not impossible.            
                                                          
     Alienation, estrangement and isolation pertain to    
      our relationships as relationships; not to any      
       individual as an individual.  It is futile to      
        blame any individual as an individual for         
         any alienation, estrangement or isolation;       
          because it is impossible for any individual     
           as an individual to overcome any alienation,   
            estrangement or isolation.  Relationships     
             of alienation, estrangement and isolation    
              are evil.  Relationships which are evil     
               can be healed only with the cooperation    
                of participants/victims of the evil       
                 relationships.  Focusing blame, guilt    
                  and shame on individuals cannot help    
                   promote reconciliation, healing and    
                    cooperation; and will most likely     
                     will promote more alienation, hurt,  
                      resentment, anger and frustration.  
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
