There  seems  to be a rather universal human  tendency  to
TRUST other humans who are LIKE-SELF-IN-SOME-KEY-WAYS; and
not trust others who are unlike-self-in-some-key-ways.

It  is  not clear to what extent this  human  tendency  is
inherited  through DNA ---  or if this human  tendency  is
taught through training and/or environmental conditioning.

What matters  is that there is a real  human  tendency  to
TRUST other humans who are LIKE-SELF-IN-SOME-KEY-WAYS; and
not trust others who are unlike-self-in-some-key-ways.

Environmental-conditioning   may-result   in   some-humans
learning-to-Enjoy Being-With-Other Different-Human-Beings;
and so transcending the rather universal human tendency to
not  trust others who are unlike-self.    To  other-humans
that  tendency to enjoy being with other different  people
is a "Sign-That-They-Are-Different" --- and So-a-Cause for
Alarm, Concern, Fear, Anxiety, Caution and Distrust.

In fact,  it seems that there can be diverse "signs" which
are taken to be: significant, more-important,  key, and/or
Essential-Signs  of  Essential-Differences between  humans
who can thereby be recognized as "GOOD" and "Trustworthy";
versus being "Different" -- so "EVIL" and "Un-Trustworthy"
--  and so Rejected,  Avoided,  Banished,  Excommunicated,
Destroyed ---  perhaps through rituals by which people are
publicly  "Tried",  "Insulted",   "Denigrated",  "Marked",
"Labeled", "Banished",  "Destroyed", Imprisoned, Excluded,
Alienated,    Burned-at-the-Stake,    Hanged,    Executed,
Tortured, Buried, etc.

How  are  humans to transcend the above absurdities?    In
traditional ways?      By-What-Authority Can-We-Know-That?

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

                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
