There are times/occasions where it is important for us  to
make an effort to discern other people's intentions; e.g.,
when  their verbal-affirmations and their actions are  not
coherent with each other.   It may be important for us  to
discern   what  their  real  motivations,    perspectives,
attitudes, beliefs, etc. are ---  so as to have some basis
for  our  responding to them in gracious  and  integrative
ways.

In all times/occasions where we try to do the above; it is
important  for  us  to strive to be:   humble,   balanced,
gracious,  and committed to articulating-and-demonstrating
Healthy-Clusters of virtues,  ideals, values, etc.   If we
do  not  strive  in those ways ---  our efforts  to  offer
"Solutions" may make our relationships worse,  rather than
help improve our relationships.

The  above deals more with reflexive-relationships,   than
with objective-relationships.   Objective-Certainty cannot
be achieved and is not properly a Central-Issue.   In  the
above the Central-Issues revolve around the characters and
qualities of the Personal-Relationships between those  who
are involved in the efforts under consideration.   How can
Alienation-be-Healed and Suspicious-People-be-Reconciled?

When it is important to discern people's intentions it is
important to work to do the following:

 1.  Heal dysfunctional Evil-Relationships of Alienation.
 2.  Reconcile people who do not trust each other.
 3.  Resolve conflicts between ideals, values, principles,
 4.  Resolve conflicts between dominators and victims,
 5.  Mitigate the abuse of violence, controls, deception,
 6.  Mitigate the abuse of prescriptions, proscriptions,
 7.  Mitigate the abuse of excommunications and prisons,
 8.  Mitigate arrogance, self-righteousness and pretense.
 9.  Mitigate dominant concentrations of power/wealth.
10.  Mitigate the abuse of authority and influence.

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

                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
