     It is impossible to achieve/enjoy invulnerability for
our self:

     1.  In  Intimate-Relationships where vulnerability is
an essential aspect of Meaningful-Intimacy.

     2.  In Domineering-Relationships where others are all
dedicated to making us vulnerable in order that they  have
greater power, wealth, influence, and "invulnerability".

     3.  In Objective-Relationships where  the  Reflexive-
Concepts   of  Invulnerability-and-Vulnerability  play  no
essential roles.

     4.  In  Scientific-Relationships  where the focus  is
upon  Predictive-Understandings and  Manipulative-Controls
of  the Processes-Analyzed ---  because therein  Personal-
Relationships  are not the focus of attention;   they  are
irrelevant.

     5.  In  many  Religious-Institutions; because therein
Personal-Experiences and Personal-Descriptions are rarely,
if  ever,   regarded  as having  any  authority;   so  the
realities     of     personal     "vulnerability"      and
"invulnerability"  are rarely the focus of overt attention
and discussion.

     6.  In most political contexts; because  therein  the
traditional foci are the techniques for acquiring:  power,
wealth,  influence, honor, prestige, office,  supporters,
electability; etc.,  --- making all persons vulnerable to: 
indifference,      rejection,    attack,    embarrassment, 
negations, etc.   Therein intimacies are excessively risky 
to  be  given  any  consideration.     Invulnerability  is 
impossible  because everyone is a member of  the  pack-of-
wolves around on every side.  

                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in    
                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
