   %CHOOSING BETTER ALTERNATIVE OPPORTUNITY DO WELL 070928

The following are helpful steps which we need to be taking
each and every day with all kinds of people whom we meet:

 1.  Listen  to  their stories of their  experiences,  and
demonstrate sympathy and empathy with  them  in regards to
their stories and experiences.

 2.  Respond  to them in ways which convince them that you
have  heard  them  and  are  trying  to  understand  their
circumstances, points of view and major concerns/fears.

 3.  Work  with them to resolve conflicts between your own
points of view and needs ---  and their points of view and
needs.

 4.  Help  them to understand that working-together we can
Do-Better than Working-Apart or Working-In-Opposition.

If  we are busy doing the above we are not very likely  to
be busy preparing to  engage in alienative and destructive
activities which  have often consumed all of  the  wealth,
integrity and health of communities tied up in conflicts.

Healthy people take for granted that it more enjoyable and
normal to  be  cooperating with each other;   than  to  be
contending with each other.   Competition is not taken for
granted by True-Lovers who are Healthy.   Distrust is  not
taken for granted.

      Be-Together in the Many-Gracious ways of Shalom.
