     What kinds of fears are likely to mislead us in  ways
which are NOT  prudent and NOT wise?   What kinds of fears
are likely to lead us in ways which ARE prudent and wise? 
                                                          
     What  kinds  of fears are most easily used/abused  by
domineering  people in their efforts to concentrate  power
into  their own domineering hands?    What kinds of  fears
are NOT easily used/abused by domineering people?         
                                                          
     It may be helpful to focus upon the difference       
      between fears-of-alienations which                  
       CAN be influenced or mitigated by humans;          
                                                          
                         and                              
                                                          
       fears of the natural-effects                       
        of human  choices and behaviors  ---              
         where humans CANNOT influence or mitigate        
          the cause-effect-relationships                  
           between human choices/behaviors and            
            the natural-effects of them.                  
                                                          
     The  fears-of-alienation  which CAN be influenced  or
mitigated  by humans ---  are the fears which CAN be  used
and abused by domineering people to concentrate power into
their own hands.                                          
                                                          
     The fears of the natural-effects of                  
      human choices and behaviors CANNOT so readily       
       be used or abused by domineering people            
        to concentrate power into their own hands ---     
         EXCEPT as domineering people make                
          tacit or implicit threats to decide             
           to cause harm to people who are vulnerable;    
            e.g.,   to people who are:  thirsty,   hungry,
             weak, sick, naked, dis-eased, ill-at-ease,   
              homeless, powerless, dis-advantaged, poor,  
               ignorant, blind, deaf, etc.                
                It is not the natural-cause-effect-       
                 relationship which should be feared;     
                  it is the ALIENATION which leads to     
                   harmful-human-behaviors --- which are  
                    to be feared in ways which are prudent
                     and wise --- leading                 
                      to reconciliation.                  
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
