 %KINDS of KIND DESIRES THOUGHTS HOPES EXPECTATIONS 071008
%DREAMS VISION ANALYSES MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING LOVERS 071008

It  is  not:   desires,  thoughts,  hopes,   expectations,
dreams, visions, analyses, etc.  which are Inherently-Evil
and to be Avoided-or-Minimized.

Rather,  we can be Well-Together in the many Gracious-Ways
of Shalom ...

If we cooperate in  choosing which Kinds-of-Kind: desires,
thoughts,  hopes, expectations, dreams, visions, analyses,
etc. ...

To   Integrate-Together  in  Mutual-Mindfulness  regarding
which Mutually-Complementary-Combinations-of-Foci Lead-US-
Well in the Gracious-Ways-of-Shalom ...

Rather than wandering off those Gracious-Ways and into the
Many-Ways-of-Alienation     within  our   Tragically-Evil-
Relationships ...

We  can  be  Well-Together  while  Shifting-Our-Attentions
Away-From    Alienative-Behaviors   toward    Reconciling-
Behaviors  that include  Sympathetic-and-Empathetic  KIND:
desires,  thoughts, hopes, expectations, dreams,  visions,
analyses, etc.

We   need   to   Shift-Our-Attentions    Away-From-Tragic:
Exclusivity, Greed,  Judgementalism, Domination, Controls,
Demands,    Commands,     Prescriptions,    Proscriptions,
Hierarchies, Pride, Invulnerability, etc. ... while Being-
Graciously-Together.

Whenever  we  focus excessively:   narrowly,   exclusively
and/or in unbalanced ways upon our Unilaterally-Chosen  or
Given  FEW:

 1.  Friends,
 2.  Loyal-Supporters,
 3.  Ideals,
 4.  Values,
 5.  Ideologies,
 6.  Doctrines,
 7.  Rituals,
 8.  Prescriptions,
 9.  Proscriptions,
10.  Taboos ...

We   become  Isolated/Alienated  Out-of-Touch-with-Reality
which is more Expansive-and-Complex than we are willing to
admit.     We  become unable to Recognize-Our-Insanity and
Cannot-Cure-Ourselves Without-The-Help-of-Others  whom  we
have labeled as:  Enemies,  Evil,  Foreigners,  Strangers,
Different,    Minorities,   Unreliable,    Un-trustworthy,
Poor, Failures, etc.

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