     Prudent and  wise: teachings,   guidelines,   values,
ideals,  principles  and  forms  of  reverence  ---    are
prostituted   and  denigrated  when  they  are  abused  by
domineering  bullies  ---  to serve them as means by which
to   exercise  control  over vulnerable and  poor  people.
Prudent  and wise  teachings  (and their like)  are worthy
of  respect, honor,   support  and  reverence  ONLY within
the context  of humane  relationships  which  are free of:
domination,   unilateral  controls,     arrogance,   self-
righteousness,   terrorism,  extremism,  and imbalance ---
within  the roles played by those who affirm  the  prudent
and wise teachings (and their like).

     It   is   never   truly  helpful   for   anyone    to
UNILATERALLY COERCE:

     1.  People  into reciting statements which people  do
not  truly believe and/or do not experience as  meaningful
statements within their own lives.

     2.  People   into    acting   as  if   they  respect:
oppressive,  repressive,   arbitrary,    capricious and/or
prejudicial:  laws,  rules,  commandments,  prescriptions,
proscriptions,  commandments,  rituals,  judgments  and/or
punishments.

     3.  People into  ignoring  and/or  dismiss their own:
experiences,       perceptions,     emotions,      unders-
tandings,  insights,  intuitions,  etc.  ---   because  of
demands made by domineering bullies.

     4.  People into  conforming  to  prescribed  patterns
of  behavior,  speech or relationships ---  which are  not
freely  chosen as worthy of honor,  respect,  support  and
reverence.

     5.  People into  avoiding   engaging in   proscribed:
behaviors,    speech,   expressions,   communications   or
relationships  ---  just because some person,  persons  or
group of persons has forbidden them --- in ways which are:
oppressive,   repressive,  arbitrary,   capricious  and/or
prejudicial; i.e., without due-process.

     6.  People into   participating  in behaviors   which
are dishonest,    addictive,    collusive,     codependent
and/or abusive.

     7.    People  into showing respect for or  tolerating
the above kinds  of  behaviors  which  are  not   helpful,
and are alienative.
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
