     Bias, partiality,  prejudice, one-sidedness,  prepos-
session  and  exclusivity  can all stand in  the  way  of: 
listening,   dialogue,  understanding,  prudence,  wisdom, 
competency,  cooperation  and collaboration.   We will  do 
well and recover from  many forms  of  dis-ease,  disease, 
illness and sickness ---  only to the extent that we begin 
to work  intentionally to mitigate the negative aspects of 
our  lives  ---  so that the more positive aspects have  a 
chance to grow in healthy ways. 

     1.  A "Systems-Analysis" of what is likely to be 
         involved in an intentional communal effort to 
         mitigate the negative aspects of our lives --- 
     
           will need to transcend the challenges inherent 
           in:     
     
             detecting, naming,  describing, transcending 
             and subverting ---
     
               the various forms  and  manifestations of: 
           
                  bias, partiality, prejudice, one-sided-
                  ness, prepossession and exclusivity.         


                                                    
   2.  The  above  comments are particularly  relevant  to 
       discerning   how  most  helpfully  to  respond   to 
       thoughts, articulations and presentations ---


                                                    
         which  are incoherent,   arbitrary,   unilateral, 
         capricious,   domineering and/or  un-informed  in 
         regards to human: 


                                                    
           assumptions,   attitudes,   values,    ideals, 
           principles,   traditions,   habits,   rituals, 
           inclusions,      exclusions,      confessions, 
           doctrines, polities, commandments,  scriptures, 
           idols,   judgement-criteria  and  sources-of-
           authority.            
     

                                                    
   3.  A comprehensive "Systems-Analysis"  appropriate to 
       the  above  considerations will give  careful  and 
       honest   consideration  to  patterns  present   as 
       regards: 

                                                    

         inter-dependencies,   causes-and-effects,  costs-
         and-benefits,  distributions-thereof;  occasions-
         of-neglect,  occasions-of-tragic-absences, human-
         limitations,  human-vulnerabilities, human-fears; 
         humane-aversions,   humane-preferences,   humane-
         priorities,   humane-differences and  as  regards 
         Planet-Earth's-resources such as: 

                                                    
         
           the multitude of species of plants and animals; 
           clean-water-and-air,      concentrated-mineral-
           resources, concentrated-stored-forms-of-energy; 
           kinetic,     heat,      chemical,      nuclear, 
           gravitational, electro-magnetic, and sun-light-
           energy;    human-creativity,    human-knowledge 
           human-wisdom,  human-cultures, human-histories, 
           books,   art,  music, stories, human-libraries,  
           information-data-bases, doctors,  diplomats and 
           peacemakers.    

                                                    
   4.  A  comprehensive  consideration of the above  will 
       also include the recognition, naming,  describing, 
       transcending  and subversion of the "Fallen Powers 
       That Be" that block, inhibit, repress, subvert and 
       destroy  realities which are worthy of  reverence, 
       respect,  honor and support.   Such "Fallen Powers 
       That Be" may include: 


                                                    
         Unlimited-power-concentrations,
         Greed, covetousness, selfishness, narcissism, 
         Unlimited-wealth-concentrations, 
         Envy, anger, rage, rebellion, retribution, 
         Injustices, dis-ease, disease, sickness,
         Exclusivity, dichotomies, unilateral-demands,
         Excommunications, banishments, punishments, etc. 



                                                    
     Attitudes,   assumptions,  beliefs,  and  convictions 
which  lead  to the augmentation of the  negative  aspects 
pointed to above;   will not help to mitigate the negative 
aspects  pointed to above in the short term or in the long 
term.                                            
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
