    Each human has to work within the context of their own
limits  and limitations. It is tragically futile to try to
work outside of our own limits and limitations;  e.g.,  as
regards  our own  limited:    time,   energy,   resources,
opportunities, talents,  etc.    In some ways we must each
specialize  in  how we focus our spending of  our:   time,
energy, resources, opportunities, talents, etc,

    In writing these essays the writer has specialized  in
how his own time,  energy,  resources,  opportunities  and
talents  have  been spent.   It has not been  possible  to
address   all  possible  issues,   concerns,    questions,
conflicts,   etc.    As a result,  at least the  following
topics have rarely, if ever, been addressed:

 1.  Who are the people who are most evil or good?
 2.  Who are the people who are most superior or inferior?
 3.  Who should be granted the most power or wealth?
 4.  Who should be blamed for a particular tragic event?
 5.  Who should support a particular party or candidate?
 6.  Who should support any particular religious group?
 7.  Who should support any particular political program?
 8.  Who should now be controlled by governmental powers?
 9.  Who should now be controlled by religious powers?
10.  Who should be now denied freedoms of honest-dialogue?

    The  writer  has not felt that  addressing  the  above
questions  would  be a helpful contribution by the  writer
within the contexts in which the writer has found himself.

    The  following  are  kinds of DESCRIPTIONS  which  the
writer has felt could most helpfully be contributed by the
writer in timely  ways.   Note that the focus here is upon
contributing   DESCRIPTIONS   ---    rather   than    upon
contributing:  prescriptions,   proscriptions,   commands,
demands,  requirements, legislation, judgments, negations,
denigrations, etc.

    To help stimulate Much-Needed Open-and-Honest-Dialogue
--- the writer has contributed diverse DESCRIPTIONS of:

 1.  Ignored-Crises.
 2.  Ignored-Dilemmas.
 3.  Ignored-Conflicts.
 4.  Ignored-Environmental-Changes.
 5.  Ignored-Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception.
 6.  Ignored-Addictions-and-Codependent-Supporters.
 7.  Ignored-Tragically-Simplistic-Ideals-and-Values.
 8.  Ignored-Forms-of-Ignorance.
 9.  Ignored-Forms-of-Prejudice.
10.  Ignored-Forms-of-Domination.
11.  Ignored-Forms-of-Alienation.
12.  Ignored-Forms-of-Disintegration.

    Rarely  is everybody  pleased  with  such  efforts  to
stimulate Much-Needed Open-and-Honest-Dialogue.   Some who
are  not  pleased  with  such  efforts may  try  to  shift
attention to other  more  traditional  foci of  tragically
misleading  communications  ---   which  are  more  easily
controlled.

    When  the latter occurs --- it is helpful to note that
we all must specialize how we focus our attention  ---  as
noted  above.    It is also helpful to call  attention  to
national  and  international articulations of basic  human
rights  regarding  communications and about  having  basic
human needs met;  e.g., for justice and due process.    It
is also helpful to point  to  how on has oneself chosen to
specialize in focusing attention in helpful,  but limited,
ways --- and to invite others to contribute  helpfully  in
their own chosen ways --- to focus their efforts.

    It is not helpful to others for us to let Domineering-
People  force us into shifting our focus from what we  are
qualified  to  do,  and can do well,  to what we  are  NOT
qualified  to  do,  and CANNOT DO WELL.   We can  be  most
helpful  by  graciously keeping our focus on what  we  are
qualified to do, and can do well.

     Be Graciously-Together in the Many-Ways-of-Shalom.
