     Activists  often feel that in-dire-times it is  their
duty to "do-something".   They do not ask if it is  within
their power to "do-something-helpful".    They do not  ask
if they understand  the situation and know what to do that
would be helpful;  much less do they ask if it is in their
power to to make a helpful difference.

     Compulsive-Activists   are   most   concerned   about
protecting themselves against overt/tacit accusations that
in-dire-times of need --- they did nothing.   They want to
be sure that they did something,   anything;   rather than
nothing.

     In-dire-times it is likely that few people understand
how  dire-times-came-upon-them.   It is likely that  dire-
times-came-upon-them  because  of  how  many  people  were
playing    collusive-games-of-mutual-self-deception    ---
making   true   understanding  and   true-knowledge   rare
commodities.

     What  is most needed in-dire-times?   More  activity?
Probably-not!   What is probably most needed in-dire-times
is  likely to be more:  honesty,  openness,  authenticity,
integrations, integrities, coherence, communal-sanctuaries
and Being-Together in the Gracious-Ways-of-Shalom.  Think?
