It  is  exceedingly  dangerous to give any person or group
the unilateral power to  determine  the Focus-of-Trust ---
in  the  absence of the all people having  the  right  and
freedom   to  think  and  share  their  own   experiences,
thoughts, values, ideals and emotions!  Be alert! Think!

The  above is true when the Focus-of-Trust is any  of  the
following:

 1.  WHOM              people Should-Trust,

 2.  What IDEAS        people Should-Trust,

 3.  What VALUES       people Should-Trust,

 4.  What IDEALS       people Should-Trust,

 5.  What VIRTUES      people Should-Trust,

 6.  What GROUPS       people Should-Trust,

 7.  What Myths        people Should-Trust,

 8.  What Parables     people Should-Trust,

 9.  What Traditions   people Should-Trust,

10.  What Scriptures   people Should-Trust.

The  issues  in  all  of  the  above ---  pertain  to  ALL
Concentrations of:  Wealth,  Power,   Influence,   Energy,
Technology,  etc.  --- in Reflexive-Relationships with and
within:

      Domineering-Bullies and/or True-Lovers --- within:

 A.  Families,
 B.  Friendships,
 C.  Neighborhoods,
 D.  Tribes,
 E.  Villages,
 F.  Religious-Activities,
 G.  Political-Activities,
 H.  Scholarly-Activities,
 I.  Scientific-Research,
 J.  Communications-of-all-kinds,
 K.  Intimate-Relationships,
 L.  Courtships,
 M.  Sexual-Relationships,
 N.  Etc.

The levels of danger present in resolving the above issues
--- depend upon the following kinds of consideration:

 A.  How well people are encouraged to Think-Independently
 B.  What rights people have to Think-Independently
 C.  What rights people have to be in Open/Honest-Dialogue
 D.  How well people are focused upon Personal-Integrity
 E.  How well people are focused upon Communal-Integrities
 F.  How well people are focused upon Integrations-As-Such
 G.  How well people focus upon Clusters-of-Many-Virtues
 H.  How well people focus upon Clusters-of-Many-Vices
 I.  How well people understand complex relationships
 J.  How well people cooperate in complex relationships
 K.  How well people communicate in complex relationships

In all of the above, The-Central-Issue is that True-Lovers
ARE-FREE to explore new Honest-Reflexive-Relationships and
share their findings  honestly within  Sanctuaries-for-All
in Open-and-Honest-Dialogues ---  ONLY-TO-THE-EXTENT  that
True-Lovers    are    COMPLETELY-FREE    of    THREATS-OF-
EXCOMMUNICATIONS    by-Domineering-Bullies    and    their
Supporters-of-Diverse-Kinds   ---   within  All-Different-
Kinds-of-Institutions:  Religious,  Political,   Economic,
Tribal, Governmental, Prisons, etc.

To   the  extent  that  people  respond  to    Alienative-
Domineering-Bullies    in   the   Alienative-Manners    of
Domineering-Bullies   ---   to  that  extent   Alienative-
Domination  will grow exponentially without limit ---  and
civility/civilizations fall.

To  the  extent  that people respond to  Reconciling-True-
Lovers  in  the  manners of Reconciling-True-Loves ---  to
that  extent   Reconciling-True-Lovers   will  thrive  and
civility/civilizations will thrive.

To   the   extent  that  people  respond  to   Alienative-
Domineering-Bullies in  the  manners of  Reconciling-True-
Loves ---  to  that  extent  Reconciling-True-Lovers  will
thrive and civility/civilizations will thrive.

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

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