Intimacies, 2. Reservations, 3. Openness, 4. Privacy, 5. Excitement, 6. Tranquility, 7. Spontaneity, 8. Restraint, 9. Freedoms, 10. Boundaries, 11. Initiatives, 12. Responses, 13. Receptivity, 14. Modesty, 15. Confidence, 16. Hesitancy, 17. Cooperation, 18. Discipline, 19. Mutuality, 20. Conformity, 21. Creativity, 21. Balance. Healthy intimate patterns entail diverse common understandings regarding rights, rites and rituals as regards: suggestions, hints, rules, regulations, commands, judgments, demands, intuitions, confirmations, objections and other intimately-related transactional-realities. Healthy intimate patterns are not often: scripted, programmed, planned, demanded, dominated or controlled by: non-participants, external-factors, computations or other technocratic-considerations on the part of powerful: leaders, vested-interests, corporations, religious-groups, political-groups, investors, capitalists, neighbors, etc. Healthy intimate people do not often systematically ignore the basic human needs and desires of any labeled members of the community. Any such pattern of ignoring the basic human needs and desires of any labeled members of the community --- is clear-evidence of of the existence of unhealthy-and-disintegrative relationships between the more wealthy and/or powerful members of the community, and the less wealthy-and/or-powerful members of the community. Because of existing collusive-games-of-mutual-self- deception; the existence and/or nature of such unhealthy- and-disintegrative relationships may not be clear to anybody in the community. Ignorance about them does not prove that they do not exist. Most people do not know about the well established and well described laws-of-physics; but their ignorance does not prove that those descriptive-laws-of-physics do not exist in reliably-demonstrable ways. The laws which reliably-describe reflexive-humane-relationships exist in a similar way --- in spite of most people's ignorance-of them and indifference-toward-them. The consequences-of- such-ignorance are often tragic in regards to: 1. Dysfunctional reflexive relationships. 2. Dysfunctional intimate relationships. 3. Dysfunctional sexual relationships. 4. Disintegrative sexual diseases, including AIDS. 5. Prostitution and the profitable sex-slave-trade. 6. Religious-Political Domination-Systems of Control. 7. Concentrations of Wealth via Distributive-Injustice. 8. Concentrations of Powers via Distributive-Injustice. 9. The Evil-Works of The Military-Industrial-Complexes. 10. The Evil-Works of The Technocratic-Power-Complexes. 11. The Evil-Works of Disintegative-Conceptions-of-Evil. 12. The Evil-Relationships which are never healed. 13. Corruptions of Fallen: Powers, Wealth and Leaders. 14. Corruptions of Ignorant-Beneficiaries of the above. 15. Disintegrations of the Biosphere of Space-Ship-Earth. 16. Depletions of Fuel-Supplies within Space-Ship-Earth. 17. Threats of Nuclear-War-Disintegration of All-Earth. 18. Threats of Political-Disintegrations of All-People. 19. Threats of Religious-Disintegrations of All-People. 20. Other Evolving Threats of which we are all ignorant. (c) 2004 by Paul A. Smith in "Search for Honesty and Integrity" (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
