     The  key  to  living in a  community  which  includes
defective   and   "different"   people ---  is  for  every
person  to  approach  and treat every other  person  as  a
"child-of-God" who is loved  and  accepted  into  dialogue
by  God --- into  Her/His  community  as they are.    Such
acceptance into dialogue is to be extended to all kinds of
persons;  not to just those who  "qualify"    according to
some set of criteria.    Such acceptance   into   dialogue
does    not    signify    or    imply   approval   of   or
respect/support  for  anything  which is  done,   thought,
felt,    or desired ---   by  the person so accepted  into
dialogue.     Why  is  such acceptance into  dialogue   so
important?                                                
                                                          
     If  such acceptance into dialogue is not regarded  as
an essential  foundation  for  all  forms of  personal and
communal  integrities  ---  then "superior"    people  who
are     imperfect       through        self-righteousness,
arrogance,   narcissism,  etc.    are successfully tempted
into  trying to reform,  control,  change,  dominate,   or
eliminate  "inferior"   people who do not meet  "generally
accepted"   standards for being  "acceptable"  members  of
the "exclusive"    communities which are  dominated by the
"superior"    people who know who they are  with  absolute
confidence.                                               
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
