           Human  bonding/bondage can exist in a variety of ways
      and at a variety of levels --- in various combinations:
      
           1.  Sold-slave  bonded to a master who  purchased the
      slave in a unilateral way.
      
           2.  Endentured servant willingly serving a master (or
      credit card companies) under a "mutual" contract of mutual
      utilitarian  convenience;   formal to informal,  overt  to
      tacit/covert.
      
           3.  A marriage of political/personal mutual-advantage
      and/or  convenience;    with   or  without sexual/intimate
      
      relationships.
      
           4.  Bonding  via the telling of many personal  and/or
      intimate  stories;   and/or the sharing of  many  personal
      and/or intimate adventures.
      
           5.  Bonding via being cast into a situation of mutual
      isolation  and  dependency  ---   by  accident,   natural-
      catastrophe,     human-catastrophe,    terrorism,     war,
      revolution,   rebellion,  etc.  where there was no initial
      personal intent to become bonded.
      
           6.  Bonding through intentional mutual courtship into
      progressively  deeper levels of intimacy of various  kinds
      and/or  combinations  ---  with  explicit and/or  implicit
      levels  of  interdependency,   dependency,   codependency,
      addiction,       contractual-expectations,        communal
      expectations, etc.
      
           7.  Bonding   through   a  shared integrative  faith-
      journey or some disintegrative religious-cult experience.
      
           There  are healthy and unhealthy aspects  present  in
      the above diverse forms of  bonding/bondage.   We need  to
      recognize, acknowledge,  and deal openly and honestly with
      both  the  healthy and unhealthy aspects  present  in  our
      diverse forms of bonding/bondage --- regardless of how and
      why the bonding/bondage has developed/evolved.   Otherwise
      we  are stuck  in  unhealthy bondage from which we  cannot
      escape.
                               (c) 2004 by Paul A. Smith in
                            "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                          (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
